Part a· 3 steps

To evaluate the expression, we first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions and follow the order of operations (multiplication before subtraction).

  1. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions and perform multiplication.

    123−123×14=53−53×141\frac{2}{3} - 1\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{3} - \frac{5}{3} \times \frac{1}{4} =53−5×13×4= \frac{5}{3} - \frac{5 \times 1}{3 \times 4} =53−512= \frac{5}{3} - \frac{5}{12}
  2. Find a common denominator and subtract the fractions.

    The common denominator for 3 and 12 is 12.

    =5×43×4−512= \frac{5 \times 4}{3 \times 4} - \frac{5}{12} =2012−512= \frac{20}{12} - \frac{5}{12} =20−512= \frac{20 - 5}{12} =1512= \frac{15}{12}
  3. Simplify the fraction.

    =54= \frac{5}{4} =114= 1\frac{1}{4}

    The final answer is 114\boxed{\text{1}\frac{1}{4}} or 1.25\boxed{\text{1.25}}.

Part b

x = 2\text{x = 2}

To solve the equation, we first expand the parenthesis and then combine like terms to isolate xx.

  1. Distribute the −3-3 into the parenthesis.

    5x−8−3(x+1)=−75x - 8 - 3(x + 1) = -7 5x−8−3x−3=−75x - 8 - 3x - 3 = -7
  2. Combine like terms on the left side.

    (5x−3x)+(−8−3)=−7(5x - 3x) + (-8 - 3) = -7 2x−11=−72x - 11 = -7
  3. Add 11 to both sides of the equation.

    2x−11+11=−7+112x - 11 + 11 = -7 + 11 2x=42x = 4
  4. Divide both sides by 2.

    2x2=42\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{4}{2} x=2x = 2

    The final answer is x = 2\boxed{\text{x = 2}}.

Part c

14y - 25\text{14y - 25}

To simplify the expression, we expand the parenthesis and then combine like terms.

  1. Distribute 5 into the first parenthesis and −2-2 into the second parenthesis.

    5(2y−3)−2(5−2y)5(2y - 3) - 2(5 - 2y) =(5×2y)+(5×−3)+(−2×5)+(−2×−2y)= (5 \times 2y) + (5 \times -3) + (-2 \times 5) + (-2 \times -2y) =10y−15−10+4y= 10y - 15 - 10 + 4y
  2. Combine like terms.

    (10y+4y)+(−15−10)(10y + 4y) + (-15 - 10) =14y−25= 14y - 25

    The final answer is 14y - 25\boxed{\text{14y - 25}}.

Part d

170.67 units\text{170.67 units}

To calculate the number of unused units, we first find the amount of memory used and then subtract it from the total capacity.

  1. Calculate the amount of memory used.

    Total capacity = 512 units.
    Fraction used = 23\frac{2}{3}.
    Memory used = 23×512\frac{2}{3} \times 512 units

    =10243 units= \frac{1024}{3} \text{ units} =341.333... units= 341.333... \text{ units}
  2. Calculate the number of unused units.

    Unused units = Total capacity - Memory used

    =512−10243= 512 - \frac{1024}{3} =512×33−10243= \frac{512 \times 3}{3} - \frac{1024}{3} =15363−10243= \frac{1536}{3} - \frac{1024}{3} =1536−10243= \frac{1536 - 1024}{3} =5123 units= \frac{512}{3} \text{ units}
  3. Convert to a decimal and round to 2 decimal places.

    =170.666... units= 170.666... \text{ units}

    Rounding to 2 decimal places, we get 170.67 units.
    The final answer is 170.67 units\boxed{\text{170.67 units}}.
