Before you can add or subtract fractions with different denominators,you must find the equivalent fractions with the same the denominations,like this:Find the smallest multiple(LCM) of both numbers.Rewrite the fractions as equivalent fractions with the LCM as the denominators.

The perimeter of a rectangle can be found using the equation P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is th

Naddik [55]

Answer:

D)Yes. The rectangle can have P = 60 and L = 18 because P = 2(18) + 2(12) would equal 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is $P=2L+2W$ .

If the width is $W=12\:units$ and the length is $L=18\:units$ , then the perimeter becomes:

$P=2\times 12+2\times 18$ .

$\implies P=24+36$ .

$\implies P=60$ .

Therefore the answer is

D)Yes. The rectangle can have P = 60 and L = 18 because P = 2(18) + 2(12) would equal 60

mamaluj [8]

1) Given m represent the total number of miles Hannah walked.

Let us assume Hannah walked x miles each day.

So total number of miles Hannah walked in 5 days is m=5x.

2)Given Jimmy brought 2 books per day and Peter brought 4 books per day.

If d is the number of days the book drive, total number of books they brought

=total number books brought by Jimmy+ total number of books brought by Peter

= 2d+4d = 6d

3) Given that c represent cost of the clothes.

Then 30% discount = 0.3c

Hence cost of the clothes = c-0.3c = 0.7c

4) Given c represent the cost of their meal before tipping.

And tip is 15% of the cost.

Hence tip = 0.15c

Hence total bill = c+0.15c=1.15c

5) Given that Tommy had 40$ in his pocket.

And pair of pants cost 37$ with 10% sales tax.

Hence cost of pants including sales tax = 37+37*0.1 = 40.1$ >40$

Hence Tommy cannot afford the pants with 40$ in his pocket.

For following problems, we should group the like terms together and then simplify.

6) (x+8)+(3x-12) = (x+3x)+8-12 = 4x-4

7) 5x+7-(3x-4) = 5x+7-3x+4 = (5x-3x)+7+4 = 2x+11

8) (x-2)-(-4x+1)=x-2+4x-1 = (x+4x)-2-1 = 5x-3

$\bf{1) \ x^4-61x^2+900=0 }$

Applying the factorization method, for example:

$\bf{ 0=(x^2)^2-61(x^2)+900=(x^2-36)(x^2-25)}$

$\bf{\\ &=(x+6)(x-6)(x+5)(x-5); }$

$\bf{ x_1=6 \quad x_2=-6 \quad \ \ \ x_3=5 \quad x_4=5 }$

$\bf{2) \ x^4-25x^2+144=0 }$

Applying the factorization method:

$\bf{0&=(x^2)^2-25(x^2)+144=(x^2-16)(x^2-9) }$

$\bf{ =(x-4)(x+4)(x-3)(x+3); }$

$\bf{ x_1=4 \quad x_2=-4 \quad x_3=3 \quad x_4=-3 }$

Need help with number 2 please help. Due today!!

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Radius = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference = 2πr

2πr = 18 ×3.14

2πr = 56.5

6.28r = 56.5

r = 56.5/6.28

r = 9.04 round off , 9
