Answer: 1 / (m−3) ; m ≠ -3, 7 .
_____________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________
Given:
________________________________________
<span>(m+7) / (m</span>² <span>+ 4m</span> − 21) ; Simplify the expression ;
____________________________________________
In the "denominator" : " m² + 4m − 21 " ; see if we can factor out an
"(m+7)" which is in the 'numerator' ;
________________________________________
m² + 4m − 21 = (m+7) (m−3) ; Yes!
___________________________________________
So, rewrite the original problem as:
___________________________________________
(m+7) / [(m+7)(m−3)] ; and the "(m−7)" in both the numerator AND the denominator "cancel out" to "1"; since anything divided by that same number equals "1" ;
___________________________________________

So we rewrite the expression:
__________________________________________
1 / (m−3) ; m ≠ -3, 7 .

Travka [436]

Answer:

Using 5.25 cups of flour would make 3 batches of cookies. He made 180 cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

To see how many batches you make all you do is take the 5.25 and divide it by 1.75 because thats how much it takes to make 1. When you divide it you get 3. If there are 5 dozen in each batch thats 60 cookies because 1 dozen is 12. Then,since he made 3 batches you multiply the 60 by 3 and you get 180.

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

This is exponential, of the form

$y=a(b)^x$ where a is the initial amount and b is the growth/decay rate. If Ginny begins the study with 1200 frogs in the population, our a value is 1200.
