What is the value of the expression? (10 1/4 +61) – (3 3/5 - 3 1/2) Enter your answer in the box as a mixed number in simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is easy. The first step here is to simplify the numbers inside the parentheses.

10 1/4 + 61 = 71 1/4

3 3/5 - 3 1/2 = 3 6/10 - 3 5/10 (We needed to get both with like denominators, so we raised the fractions to an equivalent denominator.)

3 6/10 - 3 5/10 = 1/10

Now, we will do the operation outside of the parentheses.

71 1/4 - 1/10 = 71 5/20 - 2/20  = 71 3/20

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
