Answers
Answer:
your answer is -11/28.
Answer:
-11/28
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
2/5×(-3)/7 - 1/6×3/2 + (2/5)/14
2/5×(-3)/7 = (2 (-3))/(5×7):
(2 (-3))/(5×7) - 1/6×3/2 + (2/5)/14
(-1)/6×3/2 = (-3)/(6×2):
(2 (-3))/(5×7) + (-3)/(6×2) + (2/5)/14
1/14×2/5 = 2/(14×5):
(2 (-3))/(5×7) - 3/(6×2) + 2/(14×5)
3/6 = 3/(3×2) = 1/2:
(2 (-3))/(5×7) - 1/(2×2) + 2/(14×5)
2/14 = 2/(2×7) = 1/7:
(2 (-3))/(5×7) - 1/(2×2) + 1/(7×5)
5×7 = 35:
(2 (-3))/35 - 1/(2×2) + 1/(7×5)
2×2 = 4:
(2 (-3))/35 - 1/4 + 1/(7×5)
2 (-3) = -6:
(-6)/35 - 1/4 + 1/(7×5)
7×5 = 35:
(-6)/35 - 1/4 + 1/35
Put (-6)/35 - 1/4 + 1/35 over the common denominator 140. (-6)/35 - 1/4 + 1/35 = (4 (-6))/140 - 35/140 + 4/140:
(4 (-6))/140 - 35/140 + 4/140
4 (-6) = -24:
(-24)/140 - 35/140 + 4/140
-24/140 - 35/140 + 4/140 = (-24 - 35 + 4)/140:
(-24 - 35 + 4)/140
-24 - 35 + 4 = 4 - (24 + 35):
(4 - (24 + 35))/140
| 3 | 5
+ | 2 | 4
| 5 | 9:
(4 - 59)/140
4 - 59 = -(59 - 4):
(-(59 - 4))/140
| 5 | 9
- | | 4
| 5 | 5:
(-55)/140
The gcd of 55 and 140 is 5, so (-55)/140 = (-(5×11))/(5×28) = 5/5×(-11)/28 = (-11)/28:
Answer: (-11)/28
