Laquita had 5 7/9 yards of fabric. She used 3 2/3 to make a blouse. Write and slove an expresstion to find how much fabric has been used

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Laquita has of fabric i.e.

She used   yards to make a blouse i.e.

Left fabric

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
