The average of the given base lengths is the length of the midsegment:
... (72 + 104)/2 = 176/2 = 88
First of all, we can observe that

So the expression becomes

This means that the expression is defined for every 
Now, since the denominator is always positive (when it exists), the fraction can only be positive if the denominator is also positive: we must ask

Since we can't accept 3 as an answer, the actual solution set is
![(-\infty,-2] \cup [2,3) \cup (3,\infty)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28-%5Cinfty%2C-2%5D%20%5Ccup%20%5B2%2C3%29%20%5Ccup%20%283%2C%5Cinfty%29)
Hey!
Find 80% of the original cost:
1.25 * 80% = 1
1.25 + 1 = 2.25
ANSWER: $2.25.
The answer is 2z+3. The like terms are 5z and -3z so you can subtract them and get 2z. Thus, the answer is 2z+3
When you divide, you're doing the oposite of multiplication. To know that your partical answer is going to be in the hundreds place is you follow the pattern.
2874/3=958
you take the 3 and you divide it by the last two didits of the number given (28) and that'll get you into your hundreds place.
Hope this helped! :-)
