Step-by-step explanation:

as the denominator (x+3) is in both you need only one denominator to be multiplied in first rational number .

<u>2</u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>x-2</u><u>)</u><u>. </u><u> </u><u> </u>+ <u>5</u><u>. </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

(x+3) (x-2). (x+3) (x-2)

<u>2</u><u>x</u><u>^</u><u>2</u><u>-</u><u>4</u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u>5</u><u> </u>

Answer: The simplified expression is

(2x² + x + 15)/(x + 3)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

2x/(x+ 3) + 5/(x + 3)(x - 2)

Looking at the denominator, the Lowest common factor is (x + 3)(x - 2). Multiplying through by (x + 3)(x - 2), it becomes

[2x(x - 2) + 5(x + 3)]/(x + 3)(x - 2)

We would simplify by applying the distributive property. Each term inside the bracket is multiplied by each term outside the bracket. It becomes

[2x² - 4x + 5x + 15)]/(x + 3)(x - 2)

= (2x² + x + 15)/(x + 3)(x - 2)

Solve the system of equations.<br> 3x + 4y = -23<br> x = 3y + 1<br> y =<br> X=
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

(-5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=-23

x=3y+1

since we have what x is, we need to subsitute

3( 3y+1) + 4y= -23

no we need to multiply the number inside the parenthesis by 3

9y + 3 + 4y= -23

combine like terms ( add the numbers or variables that look alike)

9y+4y is 13y

13y+3= -23

since we need to get the y alone we need to subtract 3 on both sides since its the opposite of adding

13y+3-3=-23-3

13y= -26

now we divide 13 on both sides to get Y alone

13y/13= -26/13

y= -2

now since we have y we need to substitute it to find x

x= 3y+1

x= 3( -2) +1

now we mutliply 3 with -2

x= -6 +1

x=-5

those are ur answers

y= -2

x= -5

hope this helped:D

Bags of sugar come in 3 sizes:
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Medium

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The cost for the small and medium bag is shown below:

As we know that

1kg = 1000g

So 3kg = 3000g

Now for small bags

= 0.95 ÷ 250 × 3000

= £11.40

For medium bags

= £1.80 ÷ 500 × 3000

= £10.80

So here the medium bag would represent the better value
