The answer is A) <span>Increasing: x < 7; decreasing: x > 7</span>
Answer:
To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.
Once you have simplified the expression, you get
-x-9/2x-4
But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write
x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4
So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember the order of operations using PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). So, you get 18 - 6 / 5-1 = 12/4 = 3
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given

The very first step is to take LCM of the given expression

Perform arithmetic operations o the numerator

Divide the numerator and denominator by 2


The expression can't be further simplified;
Hence,
= 
We need to write the given statement in math terms:
y increased by 4
Recall that increased means that we are adding 4 to the previous number.
Then the mathematical expression is:
y + 4
The quantity y has been increased by 4 units.
