The LCD is 12.  Thus, your 

(x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2 becomes  12((x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2), or

                                                    3(x-2) - 4(x+3) = -36

Then 3x - 6 - 4x - 12 = -36.  Combining like terms,

 -x = -36 + 18, or -x = -18, or x = 18.  

Check this result by subbing 18 for x in the given equation.

Please note:  You must use parentheses here as indicated to eliminate any ambiguity about order of operations and what divides into what.

to get to a dog show, mr luna first drives 7 miles west from his home and then 3 miles north. next he turns east and drives 11 m
Doss [256]

Answer:

7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Luna's travels east and west are irrelevant to the question. He drives 3 miles north, then he drives 4 more miles north. 3 + 4 = 7, so Mr. Luna ends up 7 miles north of his home.

Help, i just need the answers and no need for explanations.
maria [59]

Answer:

The equation of the quadratic function shown is;

x^2+ 2x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we need to know the quadratic equation whose graph was shown.

The key to answering this lies in knowing the roots of the equation.

The roots of the equation are the solution to the quadratic equation and can be seen from the graph at the point where the quadratic equation crosses the x-axis.

The graph crosses the x-axis at two points.

These are at the points x = -3 and x = 1

So what we have are;

x + 3 and x -1

Multiplying both will give us the quadratic equation we are looking for.

(x + 3)(x-1) = x(x -1) + 3(x-1)

= x^2 -x + 3x -3 = x^2 + 2x -3
