Answer:

18 sticks of pepperoni

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we have to find out how many pepperoni sticks are needed for just 1 pizza. If it takes 14 sticks to make 28 pizzas, that means it takes only half a stick to make a single pizza.

Now that we have this information, we can multiply 1/2 by 36 to find out how many sticks of pepperoni are needed to make 36 pizzas.

$\frac{1}{2} * 36\\\\\frac{1}{2} * \frac{36}{1} \\ =\\\frac{36}{2} \\ =\\\frac{18}{1}$

Therefore, it takes 18 sticks of pepperoni to make 36 pizzas. I hope this helps! Have a lovely day!! :)

Answer:

common denominator: (x² -4)
simplified complex fraction: (2x +1)/(9 -2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is helpful to remember the factoring of the difference of squares:

a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b)

Your denominator of (x² -4) factors as (x -2)(x +2). You will note that one of these factors is the same as the denominator in the other fraction.

It looks like you want to simplify ...

$\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{2}{x-2}-\dfrac{3}{x^2-4}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{5}{x^2-4}-\dfrac{2}{x+2}\right)}=\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{2(x+2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}-\dfrac{3}{(x-2)(x+2)}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{5}{(x-2)(x+2)}-\dfrac{2(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}\right)}\\\\=\dfrac{2(x+2)-3}{5-2(x-2)}=\boxed{\dfrac{2x+1}{9-2x}}$
