Subtract. −3 2/7 − (−5/7) Enter your answer in the box as mixed number in simplest form.
___

-2 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

−3 2/7 − (−5/7)

Subtracting a negative is like adding

−3 2/7 + (5/7)

Since the signs are difference we subtract and take the sign of the larger number

3 2/7 - 5/7

Borrow from the whole number

2+ 7/7 + 2/7 - 5/7

2 9/7 - 5/7

2 4/7

The sign of the larger number is negative so add the negative sign

- 2 4/7

reduce the friction between its moving parts

step-by-step explanation:

in fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
