Answer:
magic
Step-by-step explanation:
Make sure the bottom number are the same
Add the top numbers,put that answer over the denominator
Simplify the fractions if needed
Answer:
m=-4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Rise/run
it goes up -4 units and over 3
-4/3
Check the discriminant (always a good idea).
b^2 - 4ac
b = -19
c = -15
a = 10
(-19)^2 - 4(10)(-15)
361 + 600
961
Yes it can be factored, but if you like, you could use the quadratic formula.
x = [- (-19) +/- sqrt(961)]/(2 * 10)
x = [19 +/- 31 ] / 20
x = (19 + 31/20
x = (50)/20
x = 5/2
x = [19 - 31] / 20
x = [- 12]/20
x = -3/5
Getting the factors is a little tricky.
(x - 5/2)(x + 3/5) = 0
The first factor is found by putting
x - 5/2 in that form and multiplying through by 2
1/2 (2x - 5) The 1/2 comes from multiplying by 2.
The second factor is
1/5 (5x + 3)
So the equation will look like
1/2(2x - 5)1/5(5x + 3) = 0 If you multiply by 2 you get
(2x - 5)1/5(5x + 3) = 0 and now multiply by 5 you get
(2x - 5) (5x + 3)
Check
2x*5x - 25x + 6x - 15
10x^2 - 19x - 15 = 0
So everything works out.
3 goes in to 40 13 times
7 goes in to 40 5 times
but it is not 13+5 because you do not want to count 21 twice
