How to simplify my answer

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago
5 0
Assuming that dot means multiply

remember
(\frac{a}{b})(\frac{c}{d})=\frac{ac}{bd}

so
remember that it is helpful to factor them to simplify

(\frac{x-5}{3x+12})(\frac{2x+8}{2x-10})=
\frac{(x-5)(2x+8)}{(3x+12)(2x-10)}=
\frac{(x-5)(2)(x+4)}{(3)(x+4)(2)(x-5)}=
(\frac{(x-5)(2)(x+4)}{(x-5)(2)(x+4)})(\frac{1}{3})=
(1)(\frac{1}{3}=
\frac{1}{3}

Please help meeeeee with this
aleksandrvk [35]
Alright, let's do all of these (though this is a bit long).
1.
The constant is 1.8. All other values are coefficients to variables, which as the name implies will change.
2.
1 hour is 60 minutes, 1 minute is 60 seconds.
So, 4.2 *60 *60 = 15120 seconds.
3.
<span>−5x−4(x−6)=−3-5x-4(x-6)=-3
Let's move all x to one side, and all other numbers to another.
-5x-4(x-6)=-3-5x-4(x-6)=-3
x can be any value you want, if you actually solve this you'll only end up with -3 = -3, which is correct, of course.
Let me show you:
</span><span>−5x−4(x−6)=−3-5x-4(x-6)=-3
+5x +4(x-6)        +5x +4(x-6)
-3 = -3
The value of x is irrelevant, then. X can be any real number.
4.
I'm going to assume it was an error in printing with this? If not please correct me.
m=a+2b(or b2)
subtract 2b from each
a=m-2b
(This question seems kind of odd. We should probably address this in the comments.)
5.
</span><span>5(x−2)<−3x+6
Move all x to one side, numbers to other.
5x-10<-3x+6
+3x     +3x
    +10      +10
8x<16
/8
<span>x < 2
</span>6.
y-3=3(x-5)
alright, to find zeros set one variable to zero and solve
x first
-3=3x-15
+15    +15
3x=12
/3
x=4
x-int is (4,0)
now y
</span>y-3=3(0-5)
y-3=-15
+3     +3
y=-12
so y-int is (0,-12)
i've got to sleep now so i'll do the rest tomorrow. Sorry for the incomplete answer.

10 (2y + 2) - y = 2 (8y - 8)
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

10(2y+2)= 10.2y+10.2

20y+20-y

2(8y-8)=2.8y-2.8

20y+20-y=16y-16

20y-16y-y=-20-16

3y=-36

36/3y=?

y=-12
