Which expression is equivalent to -3 1/8 minus 2 1/2

-5 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative minus a positive is essentially a negative plus a negative! The two values will add on top of each other to create a larger negative number.

I'd recommend turning the mixed numbers into improper fractions: 25/8 and 5/2. Then, make sure their denominators are equal by multiplying 5/2 by a "big one" or 4/4. This should get you 20/8.

Now, solve for -25/8 - 20/8 to get -45/8. Turn that number into a mixed number, and you have your answer!

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
