Point +10.
(-2)*(-1) gives +2 (a negative number multiplied for another negative gives a positive number).
2*5 = +10
11/56 inches or 0.196 inches must be removed.
The pipe measures 4/7 inches but needs to be reduced to 3/8 inches.
In order to find out the inches to be removed, you must subtract the length that the pipe should be from the length that it currently is.
<em>Length to be removed = 4/7 - 3/8</em>
You need a common denominator so find the lowest common factor of both denominators:
= 56
In the shared fraction, multiply the numerator by the number you get when you divide 56 by the denominator.
= 56/7 = 8 8 x 4 = 32
= 56 / 8 = 7 7 x 3 = 21
= (32 - 21) / 56
= 11 / 56 inches
= 0.196 inches
In conclusion, 11/56 inches must be removed to get the pipe to 3/8 inches

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of yellow marbles = x
Let number of red marbles = y
Let number of blue marbles = z
Given that Finley has 152 yellow, red, and blue marbles in a bag.
So we get equation:
x+y+z=152...(i)
"He has seven more red marbles than yellow marbles" means:
y=x+7...(ii)
"three times as many blue marbles as yellow marbles." means:
z=3x...(iii)
Now we just need to solve those equations to find the answer.
Plug (ii) and (iii) into (i)
x+(x+7)+(3x)=152
x+x+7+3x=152
Which looks similar to choice (B)
5x+7=152
5x=145
x=29
Hence final answer is choice B.
Required equation is
x+x+7+3x=152
Number of yellow marbles = 29
