I think that the sum will always be a rational number
let's prove that


<span>any rational number can be represented as a/b where a and b are integers and b≠0

</span>and an integer is the counting numbers plus their negatives and 0
so like -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4....

<span>so, 2 rational numbers can be represented as

</span>a/b and c/d (where a,b,c,d are all integers and b≠0 and d≠0)

their sum is
a/b+c/d=
ad/bd+bc/bd=
(ad+bc)/bd

1. the numerator and denominator will be integers
2. that the denominator does not equal 0

alright
1.
we started with that they are all integers
ab+bc=?
if we multiply any 2 integers, we get an integer
<span>like 3*4=12 or -3*4=-12 or -3*-4=12, etc.
</span>even 0*4=0, that's an integer
the sum of any 2 integers is an integer
like 4+3=7, 3+(-4)=-1, 3+0=3, etc.
so we have established that the numerator is an integer

now the denominator
that is just a product of 2 integers so it is an integer


<span>2. we originally defined that b≠0 and d≠0 so we're good

</span>therefore, the sum of any 2 rational numbers will always be a rational number <span>is the correct answer.</span>

5 times marys age is the same as 28 less than 7 times her age. Find her age
Gnom [1K]

setup a simple algebraic equation and solve.

5x = 7x-28

-5x   -5x

0=2x-28

+28  +28

28=2x

Now divide both sides by 2 and you get that she is 14

Please answer 5,6,7. With explanation.
Anestetic [448]
First you need to know some rules 2 numbers that are the same with coefficients divided : you differentiate those coeff
and multyplied :you sum up them

12x^8/3x^3= 4x^8-3=4x^5

20^2x=20^x*20^x

m^5*m^-7=m^5-7=m^-2
