Since they are FEWER than 30 total cones, the sum of x small cones and y large one must be LESS THAN 30: x+y <30
He needs AT LEAST a dozen (12), so that means that 12 will work or more than 12:
Slope = mx+b
or
x2-x1/y2-y21
Perimeter of a shape is the total length of its border
Figure 1, perimeter = 5 units
Figure 2, perimeter = 7 units
Figure 3, perimeter = 9 units
Figure 4, perimeter = 11 units
Notice that the perimeter is forming an Arithmetic sequence; 5, 7, 9, 11 with a common difference of 2
The general form of an Arithmetic sequence is

Where 'd' is a common difference and 'n' is the number of terms.
We have d = 2, and
zero term = the term before the first term = 3

⇒ This is the rule to find the perimeter of the next figures
8/5 = 1 3/5
(5 x 1 = 5 + 3 = 8, to get 8/5)
13/12 = 1 1/12 (12 x 1 = 12 + 1 = 13, to get 13/12)
Hope this helped! :D
Answer:
(9 - 4 x)/(x (2 x - 4))
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
1/(2 x^2 - 4 x) - 2/x
Put each term in 1/(2 x^2 - 4 x) - 2/x over the common denominator x (2 x - 4): 1/(2 x^2 - 4 x) - 2/x = ((x (2 x - 4))/(2 x^2 - 4 x))/(x (2 x - 4)) - (2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4)):
((x (2 x - 4))/(2 x^2 - 4 x))/(x (2 x - 4)) - (2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4))
A common factor of 2 x - 4 and 2 x^2 - 4 x is 2 x - 4, so (x (2 x - 4))/(2 x^2 - 4 x) = (x (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4)):
((x (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4)))/(x (2 x - 4)) - (2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4))
(x (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4)) = 1:
1/(x (2 x - 4)) - (2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4))
1/(x (2 x - 4)) - (2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4)) = (1 - 2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4)):
(1 - 2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4))
-2 (2 x - 4) = 8 - 4 x:
(8 - 4 x + 1)/(x (2 x - 4))
Add like terms. 1 + 8 = 9:
Answer: (9 - 4 x)/(x (2 x - 4))
