Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
first u take 2 1/2 and change it into a improper fraction.
so 2 X 2 = 4 then + 1
=5
5/2 divide by 1/4
which is 10
For this case, the dividend is given by:

We note that the following numbers:
2, 10, 1, 5
They are the coefficients of the polynomial and they are in the upper part of the division.
The number -5 is the opposite value of the divisor constant.
Therefore, the divisor is given by:
x + 5
Answer:
The divisor is:
x + 5
Take any of the valid pairs of points, use the formula
rate of change = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Say we use P1=(0,21.4), P2=(3,19)
x1=0, y1=21.4
x2=3, y2=19
Rate of change = (21.4-19)/(0-3)=2.4/(-3) = -0.8 sq. ft/in of liquid
First get like things on the same side:
-5/6b - 1/2b= -2/3 - 3/4
Then find equivalent fractions to make the equation easier to solve.
-5/6b - 3/6b= -8/12 - 9/12
Then just add things together and solve.
-8/6b= -17/12
-8b= 6(-17/12)
-8b= -17/2
b= (-17/2)/-8
b= 17/16
You can then plug the answer back into the original question to make sure it is the correct answer.
