Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation : 

           (a)/(a^2-16)+(2/(a-4))-(2/(a+4))=0 

Simplify ————— a + 4 <span>Equation at the end of step  1  :</span><span> a 2 2 (—————————+—————)-——— = 0 ((a2)-16) (a-4) a+4 </span><span>Step  2  :</span> 2 Simplify ————— a - 4 <span>Equation at the end of step  2  :</span><span> a 2 2 (—————————+———)-——— = 0 ((a2)-16) a-4 a+4 </span><span>Step  3  :</span><span> a Simplify ——————— a2 - 16 </span>Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

<span> 3.1 </span>     Factoring: <span> a2 - 16</span> 

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, <span> A2 - B2  </span>can be factored into <span> (A+B) • (A-B)

</span>Proof :<span>  (A+B) • (A-B) =
         A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
         A2 <span>- AB + AB </span>- B2 = 
        <span> A2 - B2</span>

</span>Note : <span> <span>AB = BA </span></span>is the commutative property of multiplication. 

Note : <span> <span>- AB + AB </span></span>equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 16 is the square of 4
Check : <span> a2  </span>is the square of <span> a1 </span>

Factorization is :       (a + 4)  •  (a - 4) 

<span>Equation at the end of step  3  :</span> a 2 2 (————————————————— + —————) - ————— = 0 (a + 4) • (a - 4) a - 4 a + 4 <span>Step  4  :</span>Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

<span> 4.1 </span>   Find the Least Common Multiple 

      The left denominator is :      <span> (a+4) •</span> (a-4) 

      The right denominator is :      <span> a-4 </span>

      Least Common Multiple: 
      (a+4) • (a-4) 

Calculating Multipliers :

<span> 4.2 </span>   Calculate multipliers for the two fractions 


    Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M 
    Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M 
    Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno 

   Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 1

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = a+4

Making Equivalent Fractions :

<span> 4.3 </span>     Rewrite the two fractions into<span> equivalent fractions</span>

Two fractions are called <span>equivalent </span>if they have the<span> same numeric value.</span>

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent, <span> y/(y+1)2  </span> and <span> (y2+y)/(y+1)3  </span>are equivalent as well. 

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the <span>Numerator </span>of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

<span> L. Mult. • L. Num. a —————————————————— = ————————————— L.C.M (a+4) • (a-4) R. Mult. • R. Num. 2 • (a+4) —————————————————— = ————————————— L.C.M (a+4) • (a-4) </span>Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

<span> 4.4 </span>      Adding up the two equivalent fractions 
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

a + 2 • (a+4) 3a + 8 ————————————— = ————————————————— (a+4) • (a-4) (a + 4) • (a - 4) <span>Equation at the end of step  4  :</span> (3a + 8) 2 ————————————————— - ————— = 0 (a + 4) • (a - 4) a + 4 <span>Step  5  :</span>Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

<span> 5.1 </span>   Find the Least Common Multiple 

      The left denominator is :      <span> (a+4) •</span> (a-4) 

      The right denominator is :      <span> a+4 </span>

      Least Common Multiple: 
      (a+4) • (a-4) 

Calculating Multipliers :

<span> 5.2 </span>   Calculate multipliers for the two fractions 


    Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M 
    Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M 
    Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno 

   Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 1

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = a-4

Making Equivalent Fractions :

<span> 5.3 </span>     Rewrite the two fractions into<span> equivalent fractions</span>

<span> L. Mult. • L. Num. (3a+8) —————————————————— = ————————————— L.C.M (a+4) • (a-4) R. Mult. • R. Num. 2 • (a-4) —————————————————— = ————————————— L.C.M (a+4) • (a-4) </span>Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

<span> 5.4 </span>      Adding up the two equivalent fractions 

(3a+8) - (2 • (a-4)) a + 16 ———————————————————— = ————————————————— (a+4) • (a-4) (a + 4) • (a - 4) <span>Equation at the end of step  5  :</span> a + 16 ————————————————— = 0 (a + 4) • (a - 4) <span>Step  6  :</span>When a fraction equals zero :<span><span> 6.1 </span>   When a fraction equals zero ...</span>

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the <span>denominator, </span>Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

a+16 ——————————— • (a+4)•(a-4) = 0 • (a+4)•(a-4) (a+4)•(a-4)

Now, on the left hand side, the <span> (a+4) •</span> (a-4)  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
   a+16  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

<span> 6.2 </span>     Solve  :    a+16 = 0<span> 

 </span>Subtract  16  from both sides of the equation :<span> 
 </span>                     a = -16 

One solution was found :

                  <span> a = -16</span>

2/9 divided by 5/6<br>help pleaseee​
igomit [66]

Hey there!

\mathsf{\dfrac{2}{9}\div\dfrac{5}{6}}

\mathsf{= \dfrac{2\times6}{9\times5}}

\mathsf{2\times 6 = \bf 12}

\mathsf{9\times5 = \bf 45}

\boxed{\mathsf{=\bf \dfrac{12}{45}}}

\large\textsf{BOTH NUMBERS has the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 3}

\mathsf{= \dfrac{12\div3}{45\div3}}

\mathsf{12\div3=\bf 4}

\mathsf{45\div3=\bf 15}

\boxed{\mathsf{=\bf  \dfrac{4}{15}}}

If the slope of a line is 2 and the y-intercept is 7, what would the equation be in slope intercept form?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

y = 2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + c

m = slope

c is the y intercept

so

y = 2x+ 7
