You have to make them have their least common denominator to add or subtract, in this case 36.
Multiply 1/12 by 3, to get the denominator 36: 3/36.
Multiply 7/9 by 4, to get the denominator 36: 28/36.
Now add the numerators: 3+28=31, 31/36 is as simplified as possible so your answer is 31/36 :) I hope this helps :)
Answer:
21+/-sqrt(253)=x
So one value for x is 21+sqrt(253)
and another is 21-sqrt(253)
Problem:
Given (21,7) and (x,1), find all x such that the distance between these two points is 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
Change in x is x-21
Change in y is 7-1=6
distance^2=(change in x)^2+(change in y)^2
17^2=(x-21)^2+(6)^2
289=(x-21)^2+36
Subtract 36 on both sides:
289-36=(x-21)^2
253=(x-21)^2
Take square root of both sides:
+/-sqrt(253)=x-21
Add 21 on both sides:
21+/-sqrt(253)=x
Assume that
a and b = the two legs of the right triangle.
c = the hypotenuse.
The area of the right triangle is 750 yd², therefore
(1/2)*a*b = 750
ab = 1500 (1)
The perimeter is 150yd, therefore
a + b + c = 150 (2)
Let the side fenced with wood be a, at $5/yd. Sides b and c are fenced with steel at $10/y. The total cost is $1200, therefore
5a + 10b + 10c = 1200
or
a + 2b + 2c = 240 (3)
From (2), obtain
c = 150 - a - b (4)
Substitute (4) into (3)
a + 2b + 2(150 - a - b) = 240
-a + 300 = 240
a = 60
From (1), obtain
60b = 1500
b = 25
From (4), obtain
c = 150 - 60 - 25 = 65
Answer:
A. The length of the leg fenced with wood is 60 yd.
B. The length of the leg fenced with steel is 25 yd.
Answer:
10 - 2n - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of n and 2 is 2n.
Then 10 - 2n is the difference of 10 and the product of n and 2.
In conclusion, we have:
10 - 2n - 4
Answer:
An equation that represents the given situation is 
and the additional number of students that can be seated is 47
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of students already seated in school cafeteria = 203
Let x be the additional number of students that can be seated
So, Total number of seats available in school cafeteria = 203+x
We are given that the school cafeteria seats 250 students
So, 203+x=250
Hence an equation that represents the given situation is and the additional number of students that can be seated is 47
