Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{3x}=4\\\\\text{Domain:}\ x\neq0\\\\\text{find LCD}=3x\\\\\dfrac{1\cdot3}{x\cdot3}+\dfrac{1}{3x}=4\\\\\dfrac{3}{3x}+\dfrac{1}{3x}=4\\\\\dfrac{3+1}{3x}=4\\\\\dfrac{4}{3x}=\dfrac{4}{1}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\(3x)(4)=(4)(1)\\\\12x=4\qquad\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\\dfrac{12x}{12}=\dfrac{4}{12}\\\\x=\dfrac{4:4}{12:4}\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{3}\in D$

Kaya is saving money at a rate of $30 per month. Edgardo is saving money at a rate of $35 per month. They both started saving at

ladessa [460]

Let Kaya's savings be 30x and Edgardo's savings be 35x If they both started saving at the same time: f(x)=30x f(x)=35x Now, sub in values for x in to the function starting with 0. Subtract y2-y1 and x2-x1 for both functions. For slope: m=y2-y1/x2-x1 so your result will be m=30/1=30 for f(x) = 30x and m=35/1=35 for f(x) = 35x so the slopes are m=30 and m=35 respectively!

Factor completely and then place the factors in the proper location on the grid.

Alika [10]

1. 8c^2-26c+15= (4c-3) (2c-5). Break the expression into groups: =(8c^2-6c)+(-20c+15). Factor out 8c^2-6c: 2c(4c-3). Factor out -5 from -20c+ 15: -5(4c-3). Lastly factor out common term (4c-3) and thats how you'll get your answer (4c-3) (2c-5).

2. common factors for 270 and 360 is 90.To find this write the factors of each and find the largest one.270: 1, 270, 2, 135, 3, 90, 5, 54, 6, 45, 9, 30, 10, 27, 15, 18360: 1, 360, 2, 180, 3, 120, 4, 90, 5, 72, 6, 60, 8, 45, 9, 40, 10, 36, 12, 30, 15, 24, 18, 20
3. The factors for 8 a3b2 and 12 ab4 is 4. because 8: 1, 2, 4, 812: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

4. 81a^2+36a+4= (9a+2)^2. Break down the expression into groups: (81a^2+18a)+(18a+4). Factor out 9a from 81a^2 +18a: 9a(9a+2). Factor out 2 from 18a+4: 2(9a+2). so the groups you got are now 9a(9a+2)+2(9a+2). Lastley factor out common term (9a+2) to get (9a+2) (9a+2). Finally you get the answer (9a+2)^2.

5. mn-15+3m-5n= (n+3)(m-5). factor out m from nm+3m: m(n+3). Factor out -5 from -5n-15: -5(n+3). And thats how you get the number (n+3)(m-5)

Hope this helped :) Have a great day
