Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the missing number be x.

Given that,

→ Sum of four and twice a number is 56.

Let's form a equation,

→ 4 + 2x = 56

The required value of x will be,

→ 4 + 2x = 56

→ 2x = 56 - 4

→ 2x = 52

→ x = 52/2

→ [ x = 26 ]

Hence, the number is 26.

$(k-2)(k-6)=k^2-2k-6k+12=k^2-8k+12$

So in order to get all the fractions to have a common denominator, we need to multiply $\dfrac k{k-2}$ by $\dfrac{k-6}{k-6}$ , and $\dfrac1{k-6}$ by $\dfrac{k-2}{k-2}$ :

$\dfrac k{k-2}\cdot\dfrac{k-6}{k-6}=\dfrac{k(k-6)}{(k-2)(k-6)}=\dfrac{k^2-6k}{k^2-8k+12}$

$\dfrac1{k-6}\cdot\dfrac{k-2}{k-2}=\dfrac{k-2}{(k-2)(k-6)}=\dfrac{k-2}{k^2-8k+12}$

Now,

$\dfrac4{k^2-8k+12}=\dfrac{(k^2-6k)+(k-2)}{k^2-8k+12}$

As long as $k\neq2$ and $k\neq6$ (which we can't have because otherwise $k^2-8k+12=0$ ), we can cancel $k^2-8k+12$ in the denominators on both sides:

$4=(k^2-6k)+(k-2)$

$4=k^2-5k-2$

$0=k^2-5k-6$

We can factorize the right side:

$0=(k-6)(k+1)$

which tells us that $k=6$ and $k=-1$ are solutions.

What percent of a circle is 3/4 of a circle

fredd [130]

A good way to think of it is in US quarters, 4 go into a dollar which is a whole or 100. Each quarter is 25 cents. Each quarter of a circle is 25%, so it would be 75%

Andrea’s backyard is 400 square feet. Her rectangular swimming pool is 10 feet long, and six feet wide. What is the area of Andr

sashaice [31]

First, you have to find the area of the rectangular swimming pool (A1), which has 10 feet long and 6 feet wide. The area of a rectangle is:

A=A1=LxW

L=10 ft
W=6 ft

When you substitute these values into the formula, you obtain:

A1=LxW
A1=(10 ft)(6ft)
A1=60 ft²

The area of the Andrea’s backyard (A2) is 400 ft², therefore, the area of Andrea’s backyard, not including the swimming pool (A3), is:

A3=A2-A1
A3=400 ft²-60 ft²
A3=340 ft²

What is the area of Andrea’s backyard, not including the swimming pool?

The answer is: The area of Andrea’s backyard, not including the swimming pool, is 340 feet²
