Answer:

70/45

Step-by-step explanation:

(-10/9) divided by (-5/7) = (-10/9) / (-5/7)

dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom one

top fraction = -10/9

bottom fraction = -5/7

reciprocal just means switching the numerator and denominator

reciprocal of bottom fraction = 7 / -5 = -7/5

thus,

(-10/9) / (-5/7) = (-10/9) * reciprocal of (-5/7) = (-10/9) * (-7/5) = 70/45

note that to multiply two fractions, you just multiply the numerators to get your new numerator and do the same thing with the denominators

What value of c makes the trinomial below a perfect square x2 + 7x + c?

Daniel [21]

We have that
x² + 7x + c
Group terms that contain the same variable
(x² + 7x )+ c
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation
(x² + 7x+3.5² )+ c-3.5²

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+3.5)²+ c-3.5²
so
c-3.5² must be zero
c-3.5²=0------- c=3.5²------> c=12.25

the answer is
the value of c must be 12.25

Answer:

25 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

In order to answer this question, first we need to know how many bolts per second are produced by each machine, this can be known by dividing the number of bolts by the time it takes.

For machine A:

$A = \frac{120 bolts}{40 s}= 3 \frac{bolts}{s}$
