So,
You have to undistribute a common factor in all of the terms.
2a + 2b
There is a 2 in each term.
Undistribute.
2(a + b)
Answer:
r = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of a GP is
= a₁ 
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 18 and a₆ = -
, then
18
= -
( divide both sides by 18 )
= -
( take the fifth root of both sides )
r =
= - 
Answer:
D and E
Step-by-step explanation:
because the rule to make triangle is
a<b+c with a, b and c is the side of the triangle
we are given that
two triangles are similar
so, the ratio of their sides must be same
we get

now, we can solve for x
step-1: Cross multiply both sides

step-2: Simplify left side

step-3: Subtract both sides by 2x


step-4: Divide both sides by 4

so,
............Answer
2/3 + 3/4 = 8/12 + 9/12 = 17/12 = 1 5/12
1 + 5/12 = 12/12 + 5/12 = 17/12 = 1 5/12
2/3 + 3/4 = 1 + 5/12
