Step-by-step explanation:

Denominator =X

Numerator = X-12

Fraction = (X-12)/X

⇛(X-12)/X = 3/5

⇛5(X-12) = 3X

⇛5X-60 = 3X

⇛5X-3X = 60

⇛2X = 60

⇛X = 60/2

⇛X = 30

Denominator = 30

Numerator = 30-12 = 18

The fraction before simplified = 18/30

5/8 is good

3/4 -> 3*2 / 4*2 -> 6/8

<u>Step 2:  Combine</u>

5/8 - 3/4 is now 5/8 - 6/8

What are the roots of the quadratic function f(b)=b^2-75
Ivahew [28]
Set f(b) = b^2 - 75 = to 0 and solve for b:

b^2 = 75
b^2 = 25(3)
b = plus or minus sqrt(25[3]) = plus or minus sqrt(25)*sqrt(3) = plus or minus 5 sqrt(3).

Please help me write an equation.

Answer:

k=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Line partition formula

1/b(x2-x1)+x1, 1/b(y2-y1)+y1

Where b is the number partitions.

We know the x values so Subsitue 17 for x2 and 2 for x1. and we know this value must equal 7.

1/b(17-2)+2=7

1/b(15)=5

1/b=1/3

b=3

so the partition is 1/3

\frac{1}{3} (17 - 2) + 2 = 7

So let find the y coordinate

\frac{1}{3} (8 - 5) + 5 = 6

So our y coordinate is 6.
