-1/5-(-3/8)=?
I need a step by step to solve this equation

7/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-1/5 + 3/8

Hint: | Put the fractions in -1/5 + 3/8 over a common denominator.

Put -1/5 + 3/8 over the common denominator 40. -1/5 + 3/8 = (-8)/40 + (5×3)/40:

(-8)/40 + (5×3)/40

Hint: | Multiply 5 and 3 together.

5×3 = 15:

(-8)/40 + 15/40

Hint: | Subtract the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction.

-8/40 + 15/40 = (-8 + 15)/40:

(-8 + 15)/40

Hint: | Subtract 8 from 15.

-8 + 15 = 7:

 7/40

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
