If anyone can help me :))<br><br> 3n/9n-1
Arisa [49]

Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify each term.

Rewrite the division as a fraction.

3 n/ 9 n  −  1

Cancel the common factor of  3  and  9 .  

n/ 3 n  −  1

Cancel the common factor of  n .  

1 /3  −  1

To write  − 1  as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by  3/3  

1 /3  −  1 x 3/3  

Combine  − 1  and  3/ 3 .

1/ 3  +  − 1 x3 /3

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

1  −  1  x  3/3

Simplify the numerator.

− 2 /3

(Easy) What changes about a figure after translation in terms of 2D shapes?
Lapatulllka [165]
It really does not change a whole lot, all your doing is moving it, your not adding size or subtracting size or rotating it. Just make all the points of the shape stay the same distance.

I hope this helps.

Can someone please help!
romanna [79]

Answer:

The value of x is 49 and the value of AB is 90

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that AB and DE are congruent. That information is given to you.

You set the equations equal to each other and then solve.


2x - 8 = x + 38


Subtract x


x - 8 = 38


Add 8.


x = 49


Plug back into 2x - 8 to find the value of AB


2 times 49 - 8


98 - 8


90
