Combine like terms -2/3p + 1/5 - 1 + 5/6p

1/6p - 4/5

Explanation: -2/3p needs to have the same denominator as 5/6p so they can combine. (Note, whatever sign is in front of a number determines if it is negative or positive. Your equation indicates that the bolded parts are negative and the other parts are positive: -2/3p + 1/5 - 1 + 5/6p. So what we are really doing in an equation like this is combining some numbers together)
-2/3p and 5/6p and the least common multiple of six, so we adjust the numbers to each have a denominator of 6. 5/6p is already there, so we need to adjust -2/3p.
We can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to turn -2/3p into -4/6p. -4/6p has the same value as -2/3p, and now it also has the same denominator as 5/6p!
We then have to combine like terms, therefore combining -4/6p with 5/6p. When adding together fractions, the denominator does not change (this is why both numbers must have the same denominators). So our answer will be _/6p. So we combine -4 with 5, giving us one.
Therefore, -2/3p combined with 5/6p is 1/6p.
Now we have to combine our other set of like terms, 1/5 and -1. We can do this the same way that we combined the other numbers.
1/5 and -1 need the same denominator. This is simple because 1 can easily be figured out with any denominator, as long as the numerator and denominator are the same. This would make 1 = 5/5. But we need it negative, so it would be -5/5.
Now that we have common denominators, we can combine!
1/5 - 5/5
Remember what we said before, the solution will have the same denominator, so all we need to do is (in this case) subtract the numerators.
1 - 5 = 4
So that would be -4/5.
With the like terms combined, we just need to put our two combinations (1/6p and -4/5) together!

Our answer: 1/6p - 4/5

I hope that helps!

NEED HELP!!! Please answer the question! WILL GIVE BRANILY! 15 POINTS!!!
rewona [7]

Answer: D. Cannot be determined.

If Angle 3 were not included, the answer would be A, 360°

Step-by-step explanation: When the lines a, b, & c are parallel, the line intersecting them forms angles that are vertical, supplementary and/or corresponding and congruent.

Here, angles 4 and 5 are supplementary. No need to know their exact measurements. Together, their sum is 180°

Angles 1 and 2 are also supplementary, another 180°

But we don't know the measure of angle 3, so getting an exact sum is impossible here.

She walks 2 minutes for every 5 she runs. If she walks for 12 minutes how many minutes does she spend running?
ehidna [41]
Answer:

I believe it is, 30 minutes of running.

Explanation:

If she spends 12 minutes walking, that means she’s done 6 ‘sets’ of two minutes.

Then, you just have to multiply 6 by 5 and then you get 30.

68.64 divided by 2.4 SHOW WORK PLEASE
34kurt

Answer:28.6

I started by seeing how many 2.4 can go into 68.64. I found that it is pretty easy to find that if you multiply the 2.4 by ten you get 24 so we do that twice and have 48. We then subtract 48 from the 68.64 which leaves us with 20.64. If we multiply 2.4 by 5 we get 12 so once again subtract 12 from that 20.64 and now we are left with 8.64. So now we need to figure out how many more 2.4 are left well it is more than three because three gives us 7.2 so let’s subtract that from it now we are left with 1.44. Now we need to find out what times 2.4 gives us 1.44. Well it would be .6. So now if we add up everything we get the answer of 28.6. Sorry if this very complicated

If the diameter of circle C is 3 times greater than the diameter of circle D, the area of circle C is how many times the area of
amid [387]
The radius of circle C is also 3 times greater than the radius of circle D.
The area of circle C:
A C = (3r)² π = 9 r² π
The area of circle D:
A D = r² π
9 r² π : r ² π = 9
Answer: It is 9 times the area of circle D.
