If anyone can help w/ fractions reducing them to the lowest term

1 answer:

4 0

To reduce fractions to lowest terms, find the biggest number that divides evenly into <u>both</u> the numerator and the denominator. Then divide and your new fraction should be in lowest terms if you used the biggest number. This number is called the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator.

Example:
5/10 reduces to 1/2 because 5 divides into 5 once and into 10 twice.

12/15 reduces to 4/5 because 3 divides into 12 four times, and into 15 five times.

What is the answer for this question 7(x+4)-7=48-2x

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

7(x + 4) - 7 = 48 - 2x ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

7x + 28 - 7 = 48 - 2x

7x + 21 = 48 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )

9x + 21 = 48 ( subtract 21 from both sides )

9x = 27 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 3

Suppose it takes John 18 minutes to run 3 miles. How long would it take him to run 7 kilometers? round to the nearest minute

alex41 [277]

Answer: 26 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

3 mi * 1.609 km/1 mi = 4.82 km

4.82 km/ 18 minutes = 7 km/ x minutes

4.82x=18*7

x=126/4.82

x=26.14 ~ 26 Minutes

Please help find domain and range

Oxana [17]

<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

Domain: x > 4
Range: y > 0

========================================================

Explanation:

We want to avoid having a negative number under the square root. Solving $x-4 \ge 0$ leads to $x \ge 4$

So it appears the domain could involve x = 4 itself; however, if we tried that x value, then we'd get a division by zero error.

So in reality, the domain is x > 4.

-------------

The range of y = sqrt(x) is the set of positive real numbers. So y > 0 is the range for this equation. Shifting left and right does not affect the range, so the range of y = sqrt(x-4) is also y > 0.

We are dividing a positive number (3) over some positive number in the denominator. Overall, the expression $\frac{3}{\sqrt{x-4}}$ is positive because positive/positive = positive.

Therefore, the range of the given equation is y > 0

-------------

The graph is shown below. We have a vertical asymptote at x = 4 and a horizontal asymptote at y = 0. The green curve is fenced in the upper right corner (northeast corner).
