Question

Simplify each expression 2x-5y. If x=2/3 and y=1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y

2(2/3) - 5(1/4)

(2/1 x 2/3) - (5/1 x 1/4)

(4/3) - (5/4)

(4/3 x 4/4) - (5/4 x 3/3)

16/12 - 15/12

1/12

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x-5y=\\\\2(\frac{2}{3})-5(\frac{1}{4})=\\\\\frac{4}{3}-\frac{5}{4}=\\\\\frac{16}{12}-\frac{15}{12}=\\\\\frac{1}{12}$
