We have to add 8/15 to 2/5.

To add two fractions we have to make them have the same denominator, so we have to convert 2/5 to have a denominator of 15. To do this, we have to multiply 2/5 by 3 and then we can add the fractions:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{5} \\ \frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{3}{3} \\ \frac{8}{15}+\frac{6}{15} \\ \frac{14}{15} \end{gathered}$

Answer: 14/15

(PLESE HELP) Factor the following expression. Simplify your answer.

mars1129 [50]

The factor of the expression $5p(p + 2)^{\frac{2}{3} } + 4(p + 2)^{\frac{1}{3} }$ is $(p + 2)^{\frac{2}{3} } (5p^{3} + 10p^{2} + 20p + 4)$

To answer the question, we need to know what factorization is

<h3>What is factorization?</h3>

Factorization is the process of breaking down an expressing into a simpler form containing its factors.

Since

$5p(p + 2)^{\frac{2}{3} } + 4(p + 2)^{\frac{1}{3} }$

Since $(p + 2)^{\frac{1}{3} }$ is common, we factor it out. So, we have

$(p + 2)^{\frac{2}{3} } (5p(p + 2)^{2} + 4)$

Expanding the bracket, we have

$(p + 2)^{\frac{2}{3} } (5p(p^{2} + 2p + 4) + 4) = (p + 2)^{\frac{2}{3} } (5p^{3} + 10p^{2} + 20p + 4)$

So, the factor of the expression $5p(p + 2)^{\frac{2}{3} } + 4(p + 2)^{\frac{1}{3} }$ is $(p + 2)^{\frac{2}{3} } (5p^{3} + 10p^{2} + 20p + 4)$

Determine which of the lines, if any, are parallel or perpendicular. Explain.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:
line a and b are parallel
line c is not perpendicular because it is not 3

step-by-step explanation:
if the slope is the same it is parallel
if the slope is the complete opposite it is perpendicular
lines a and b are parallel with a slope of -1/3
(0, 5) (3, 4)
m = 4 - 5 / 3 - 0
m = -1 / 3
m = -1/3
(-1, 1) (2, 0)
m = 0 - 1 / 2 + 1
m = -1 / 3
m = -1/3
line c is perpendicular to lines a and b the slope is
(0, 0) (2, 5)
m = 5 - 0 / 2 - 0
m = 5/2
2.5

What is the coefficient of x2 in the expansion of (x + 2)3?

wolverine [178]

One way is that you can just factor it out: (x+2)(x+2)(x+2)
For the first pair, you get $x^2+4x+4$ .
Then do $(x^2+4x+4)$ * $(x+2)$
That will be $x^3+6x^2+12x+8$
So the answer is 6

Marla bought 12 books at a garage sale. Some of them were hardback and the rest were paperback. She paid $0.50 for each paperbac

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: The number of books bought were 9 paperbacks and 3 hardbacks

Step-by-step explanation: We shall start by assigning letters to the unknown variables, hence let the hardback be called h, while the paperback shall be called p.

If Marla bought 12 books at the garage sale, that means she bought

h + p = 12 ------(1)

Then she paid 0.5 dollars for paperback and 0.75 dollars for hardback and the total spent was 6.75 dollars for all of them, then we can express these as follows;

0.5p + 0.75h = 6.75 ------(2)

We now have a pair of simultaneous equations which are

h + p = 12 ------(1)

0.5p + 0.75h = 6.75 ------(2)

From equation (1), make h the subject of the equation,

h = 12- p

Substitute for h into equation (2)

0.5p + 0.75(12 - p) = 6.75

0.5p + 9 - 0.75p = 6.75

0.5p - 0.75p = 6.75 - 9

-0.25p = -2.25

Divide both sides of the equation by -0.25

p = 9

Now, substitute for p into equation (1)

h + p = 12

h + 9 = 12

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation

h = 3

Therefore Marla bought 9 paperbacks and 3 hardbacks
