Let the speed of Brian = X

Brian drove at X miles per hour for 4 hours

Jake drove at X-15 for 4 hours

Set up an equation to get:

4x + 4(x-15) = 500 miles

Simplify:

4x + 4x -60 = 500

8x - 60 = 500

Add 60 to both sides:

8x = 560

Divide both sides by 8:

X = 560/8

X = 70

Brian's speed was x = 70 miles per hour.

Jake's speed was x - 15 = 70-15  = 55 miles per hour.

Find the common fraction equivalent to 0.12
jonny [76]
The answer is:  " \frac{4}{33} "  .
______________________________
Given:  0.1212121212..... repeating ;  write that value as a fraction;
______________________________________________________
In other words; we are given:  "0.1212121212..... repeating infinitely" ;  

→ that is to say; "0.12 ...  ;  {the "12" decimal portion repeats infinitely} ; 
_______________________________________________________
→ We write this value, as a fraction, as:  "12/99" ;
__________________________________________
→Explanation:
__________________________________________ 


Note:  "0.99999999...... repeating infinitely;  =  "1" .
_________________________________________
→Since:

Let us say that we have: 

"x = 0.999999 ; repeating infinitely;  

In order words, let us say we have: "x = 0.9.... ;  the "9" decimal repeats infinitely; 
_____________________________________________________
   Then "10x" ;  (that is: "10" multlipled by "x";  or "10*x" or "10x" );  is equal to:

"10" * (0.999999.....)  = 9.99999999...... (the "9" decimal repeats infinitely);

in other words:  10x = 9.99999999....

Divide each side by "10" ;

to get "x = 0.9999999....." ; the decimal "9" repeats indefinitely...." ;

But if you have:  "10x = 10" ;  divide each side of the equation by "10" ; 
   you get: "x = 1" . 
____________________
Also,  if "x = 0.9999...(repeating infinitely); 

then:  10x = 9.99999.
_______________________________________________
           10x  =  9.999999999999999......
       −     x  =  0.999999999999999.......
    _____________________________________
            9x  =  9.00000000000000000000.....

 →  9x = 9 ; 

Divide each side of the equation; to get; 

 9x /9 = 9/ 9 ;  to get:  x = 1 ; and we have: x = 0.9999.... ;  so
  x= 0.99999.... = 1 ; 
__________________________________________________
So, if the numbers "12" is repeating, we divie "12" by "99" ; 
  that is; we divide "12" by "two 9's" ;  since "12" is a "TWO-digit number"; a "two-digit number" is being repeated infinitely.
________________________________________
            So;  0.12121212.....(the "12" is the decimal that repeats infinitely);            
                   
=  12/99 ;  which can be simplified;

Divide each side (both the numerator AND the denominator); by "3" ;
_________________________________________
  " 12/99 "  =  "(12÷3) / (99÷3) = 4/33 " .
_________________________________________
The answer is:  \frac{4}{33}  .

Help me please I’m so confused ):
Marrrta [24]
The domain is all the x-values you can use with this function. When dealing with a function like this, you need to ask yourself, what would make the bottom equal to 0? Whatever those numbers are, you do NOT want them in your domain.

A fundamental rule is that you cannot divide by 0 or have 0 as a denominator.

So, you solve x^2+6x=0 to find that x=0 or x=-6 would make the denominator 0.

The domain is everything BUT those two values, because they essentially break your function.
