The best answer is C.

u+2b=22
Unicycles have one wheel and bicycles have two, so the coefficient of 2 should go before the variable representing each bike.
It should equal 22 because 15 represents the total number of seats and not wheels.

$(k-2)(k-6)=k^2-2k-6k+12=k^2-8k+12$

So in order to get all the fractions to have a common denominator, we need to multiply $\dfrac k{k-2}$ by $\dfrac{k-6}{k-6}$ , and $\dfrac1{k-6}$ by $\dfrac{k-2}{k-2}$ :

$\dfrac k{k-2}\cdot\dfrac{k-6}{k-6}=\dfrac{k(k-6)}{(k-2)(k-6)}=\dfrac{k^2-6k}{k^2-8k+12}$

$\dfrac1{k-6}\cdot\dfrac{k-2}{k-2}=\dfrac{k-2}{(k-2)(k-6)}=\dfrac{k-2}{k^2-8k+12}$

Now,

$\dfrac4{k^2-8k+12}=\dfrac{(k^2-6k)+(k-2)}{k^2-8k+12}$

As long as $k\neq2$ and $k\neq6$ (which we can't have because otherwise $k^2-8k+12=0$ ), we can cancel $k^2-8k+12$ in the denominators on both sides:

$4=(k^2-6k)+(k-2)$

$4=k^2-5k-2$

$0=k^2-5k-6$

We can factorize the right side:

$0=(k-6)(k+1)$

which tells us that $k=6$ and $k=-1$ are solutions.

Answer:

22/29

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up all the eight grade student that participated in this survey which is 29.

Then add all the eight grade students that do not play guitar which is 22. So 22/29 is the amount of students that play an instrument other than a guitar in fraction form.

Hopefully you got the correct answer. Let me know if you got it wrong.

What is the length of ED

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

ED ≈ 2.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Sine rule in Δ DEF

$\frac{FD}{sin115}$ = $\frac{ED}{sin20}$

$\frac{6.95}{sin115}$ = $\frac{ED}{sin20}$ ( cross- multiply )

ED sin115° = 6.95 sin20° ( divide both sides by sin115° )

ED = $\frac{6.95sin20}{sin115}$ ≈ 2.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
