Hey there!

The answer is no because whenever you add or subtract fractions, you find the common denominator(the bottom of the fraction)

Corret way:
The common denominator is 15 (5*3)
Multiply numerator(top) and the denominator by 3
4/5*3*3= 12/15
Multiply numerator and the denominator by 5
1/3*5/5= 5/15
So the equation is now
12/15+5/15= 17/15 or 1 2/15

Hope this helps! :)

N76 [4]

we are given that 35 students do not like skating and that 75 % of the students like skating otherwise. This means 25 % of the students dont like skating. Hence the total number of students is 35/0.25 equal to 140 students. 75 percent of 140 students is the answer equal to 105 students

Answer:

x= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. In order to find the zeros of the function, we must factor it.

Step 2. To factor this, we have to find two numbers that multiply to 4 and add to 4 which is 2 ( 2*2=4 and 2+2=4)

step 3. 0=(x+2)(x+2)

Step 4 make (x+2) equal to zero and solve which gives us -2, so -2 =x.
