X+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=156
4x+6=156
4x=150
x=37.5 (not an integer)
If x=37 you get 37+38+39+40=154 and if x=38 you get 38+39+40+41=158[/tex]
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-13x^2 + 6x + 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Just subtract the numbers that are similar (i.e. -5x^2 - 8x^2)
The answer will also decrease.
First you have to convert the denominators to the Lowest Common Multiple (unless the denominators are equal, of course).
Example 1/4 + 1/2
The LCM of 2 and 4 = 4 so we can write 1/2 as 1*2/2*2 = 2/4.
Now we can add:-
1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4.
Same thing goes for subtraction.
Example 2:-
5/6 - 1/7 :-
LCM of 6 and 7 = 6*7 = 42 so we have:-
5*7 / 6*7 - 1*6 / 7*6
= 35/42 - 6/42 = 29/42
