Your answer is B. 0.075 m
Your statemtent is incomplete.
I found the samestatment with the complete words: <span>Simplify
completely quantity x squared minus 3 x minus 54 over quantity x
squared minus 18 x plus 81 times quantity x squared plus 12 x plus </span>36 over x plus 6
Given that your goal is to learn an be able to solve any similar problem, I can teach you assuming that what I found is exactly what you need.
x^2 - 3x - 54 x^2 + 12x + 36
------------------ x ---------------------
x^2 - 18x + 81 x + 6
factor x^2 - 3x - 54 => (x - 9)(x + 6)
factor x^2 - 18x + 81 => (x - 9)^2
factor x^2 + 12x + 36 = (x + 6)^2
Now replace the polynomials with the factors=>
(x - 9) (x + 6) (x + 6)^2 (x + 6)^2 x^2 + 12x + 36
------------------------------ = --------------- = --------------------
(x - 9)^2 (x + 6) (x - 9) x - 9
All we need to do is to divide August and September rainfall measurements into two equal halves and then substract 0.6 from one of them and add 0.6 to the other one.
6.2 ÷ 2 = 3.1
3.1 - 0.6 = 2.5
3.1 + 0.6 = 3.7
It's said that in August there was 0.6 inch more rainfall, so the bigger value (3.7 inches) is for August and the smaller value (2.5 inches) is for September.
You will get both of the fractions over the same denominator, so it will be 27/63 and 56/63, then you will add the two numerators, so it will then come out to 83/63, and you will then simplify that by subtracting 63 from 83, and will get 1 20/63
