Mr. Clemens painted his barn for 3 and 4/5 hours in the morning. He painted the barn for 5 and 3/4 hours in the afternoon. How many more hours did Mr. Clemens paint the barn in the afternoon than in the morning?

1 19/20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using Subtraction operation

Hence:

The number rod hours Mr. Clemens painted the barn in the afternoon than in the morning is calculated as:

5 3/4 hours - 3 4/5 hours

5- 3 +( 3/4 - 4/5)

Lowest Common Denominator = 20

2 + (15 - 16/20)

2 + -1/20 hours

= 1 19/20 hours

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
