Answer:

$=14a^5+14a^4-10a^3-16a$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(12a^5-6a-10a^3\right)-\left(10a-2a^5-14a^4\right)\\\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a\\=12a^5-6a-10a^3-\left(10a-2a^5-14a^4\right)\\-\left(10a-2a^5-14a^4\right):\quad -10a+2a^5+14a^4\\-\left(10a-2a^5-14a^4\right)\\\mathrm{Distribute\:parentheses}\\=-\left(10a\right)-\left(-2a^5\right)-\left(-14a^4\right)\\Apply\:minus-plus\:rules\\-\left(-a\right)=a,\:\:\:-\left(a\right)=-a\\=-10a+2a^5+14a^4\\=12a^5-6a-10a^3-10a+2a^5+14a^4$

$\mathrm{Simplify}\:12a^5-6a-10a^3-10a+2a^5+14a^4:\quad 14a^5+14a^4-10a^3-16a12a^5-6a-10a^3-10a+2a^5+14a^4\\Group\:like\:terms\\=12a^5+2a^5+14a^4-10a^3-6a-10a\\\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:12a^5+2a^5=14a^5\\=14a^5+14a^4-10a^3-6a-10a\\\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:-6a-10a=-16a\\=14a^5+14a^4-10a^3-16a$

The ratio of the length of a rectangle to its width is 8 to 5. If the longer side of the rectangle is 20ft, what is the length o

choli [55]

Answer: The answer is 12.5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that there is a rectangle with ratio of its length to breadth 8 : 5. Also, the longer side of the rectangle is 20 feet. We are to find the length of the shorter side.

Let, '8x' and '5x' be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively. Since length is the longer side, so we have

$8x=20\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{20}{8}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.5.$

Therefore, width, length of the shorter side will be

$W=5x=5\times 2.5=12.5~\textup{ft.}$

Thus, the length of the shorter side is 12.5 ft.

Estimate the perimeter of the figure to the nearest whole number.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

<u>The perimeter of the pentagon ≅ 19 units (approximately)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Clockwise, starting from the base of the pentagon, we have:

Base of the pentagon or bottom side ≅ 4 units
2nd side ≅ 3.75 units
3rd side ≅ 3.75 units
4th side ≅ 3.75 units
5th side ≅ 3.75 units

In consequence,

Perimeter of the pentagon ≅ 4 + 3.75 + 3.75 + 3.75 + 3.75

<u>Perimeter of the pentagon ≅ 19 units</u>
