Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
A
(m² - 3m + 2) / (m² - m)
we see due to a little bit of experience with expressions and multiplications of expressions that
(m² - 3m + 2) = (m - 2)(m - 1)
(m² - m) = m(m - 1)
so,
(m - 2)(m - 1) / (m(m - 1)) = (m - 2) / m
so, that's not it.
B
(m² - 2m + 1) / (m - 1)
we see again
(m² - 2m + 1) = (m - 1)(m - 1)
so,
(m - 1)(m - 1) / (m - 1) = m - 1
so, that's not it.
C
(m² - m - 2) / (m² - 1)
we see again
(m² - m - 2) = (m - 2)(m + 1)
and
(m² - 1) = (m + 1)(m - 1)
so,
(m - 2)(m + 1) / ((m + 1)(m - 1)) = (m - 2) / (m - 1)
yes, that is the solution.
D
(2m² - 4m) / (2(m - 2))
2m(m - 2) / (2(m - 2)) = 2m/2 = m
no, that is not a solution.
The mean is 13.5 and the median is 5.5
Answer:
Answer is c
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x
To solve for x, set the left hand side equal to 0 and solve for x with the quad equation
Alright, so to understand algebra
use PEMDAS
parenthasees
exponents (square roots count as exponents)
multiply or divide
add or subtract
basically try to isolate the unknown/vareable/xterm
so
3(2x-1)-10=8+5x (assuming you meant to type 8+5x and not 8=5x)
first distribute using distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
3(2x-1)=3 times 2x+3 times -1=6x-3
6x-3-10=8+5x
add like terms
6x-13=8+5x
subtract 5x from both sides
x-13=8
add 13 to both sdies
x=21
