Question

Write each fraction as the sum or difference of two terms.
16, 3n+5/7
17, 9p-6/3

18. Write an expression in simplified form for the area of the rectangle:

Answer 1

Solution:

16.

Given: 3n+5/7

We can rewrite it as:

3n+5/7 = 3n/7 + 5/7

The sum of two terms is 3n/7 + 5/7.

17.

Given: 9p-6/3

We can rewrite it as:

9p-6/3 = 9p/3 - 6/3

= 3p - 2

The difference of two terms is 3n/7 + 5/7.

18.

Given: Length = -2n+17

Width = 24

Area = length * Width

= (-2n + 17) * 24

=  -48n + 408

Hence, the simplest form is -48n + 408.
