Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

I hope you mean to cancel the common factor that exists in numerator and denominator,right.

so, Let's look for the common factor, 

here, the expression is, 

=4(x-2)/ (x+5)(x-2)

so, here we find the common factor is (x-2)

now, we have to cancel it. And after cancelling we get,

=4/(x+5)

Note:{ we cancel the common factor if the common factors are in multiply form.}

Hope it helps

Arrange these numbers in increasing order: 216,000,000, 2.2 × 10 to the 3rd power, 3.1 × 10 to the 7th power, 310,000

ziro4ka [17]

216,000,000
2.2 × 10 to the 3rd power = 2.2 * 10^3 = 2,200
3.1 × 10 to the 7th power = 3.1 * 10^7 = 31,000,000
310,000

Increasing order:
2,200 , 310,000 , 216,000,000 , 31,000,000

So increasing order with original numbers:
2.2 × 10 to the 3rd power, 310,000, 216,000,000, 3.1 × 10 to the 7th power

X² + y² = 34 x + y =8

Nataly [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 34 \\ x + y = 8 \\ x = 8 - y \\ substitute \: x \: in \\ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 34 \\ {(8 - 4)}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 34 \\ {(8 - 4) }^{2} = {y}^{2} - 16y + 64 \\ {y}^{2} - 16y + 64 + {y}^{2} = 34 \\ {2y}^{2} - 16y + 64 = 34 \\ {2y}^{2} - 16y + 64 - 34 = 0 \\ {2y}^{2} - 16y + 30 = 0 \\ 2 {y}^{2} - 6y - 10y + 30 = 0 \\ (2 {y}^{2} - 6y) - (10y + 30) = 0 \\ 2y(y - 3) - 10(y - 3) = 0 \\ (2y - 10)(y - 3) \\ 2y = 10 \\ y = \frac{10}{2} \\ y = 5 \\ or \\ y = 3 \\ if \: y = 5 \: \: x = 3 \\ if \: y = 3 \: \: x = 5$

There are 10 yellow, 6 green, 9 orange, and 5 red cards in a stack of cards turned facedown. Once a card is selected, it is not

Iteru [2.4K]

10 yellow cards over 30 = 10/30
second selection : 9 yellow cards over 29 = 9/29

10/30 * 9/29 = 1/3 * 9 /29 = 3/29 = 0.1034 = 10.34%

Find the length of diagonal AV in a three dimensional figure.

coldgirl [10]

Although I'm going to answer this question, I have to point out that this problem is NOT stated clearly. The problem being we don't know if angle AMV is a right angle.

But I'm assuming it is and thus we need to use the Pythagorean theorem.

AV= $\sqrt{5^2+12^2}$

AV=13

Therefore answer is C. :D
