Shannon states that 7 5/8 - 5 1/3= 2 4/5 because 7-5=2 , 5-1=4, and 8-3=5. First state whether you agree or disagree then explain briefly how to subtract mixed numbers with unlike denominators be sure to show your solution as a subtraction equation

it has the same slope and a different y-intercept

hope this : )

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
