What is the answer to

6 1/4-3 5/8

9 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

solution by separating parts:

1) rewrite equation with parts separated

= 6 +1/4 + 3 + 5/8

2) solve whole number parts

6 + 3 = 9

3) solve fraction parts

1/4 + 5/8 = ?

- find the LCD of 1/4 and 5/8 and rewrite to solve

LCD = 8

2/8 + 5/8 = 7/8

combining the whole and fraction parts:

9 + 7/8 = 9 7/8

true

explanation:

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
