Explain why solving (2/5)c = (8/9) by multiplying both sides by (5/2) is the same as solving it by dividing both sides by (2/5)

It's known as keep change and flip. Keep the first fraction, change the division sign into a multiplication sign, and flip the decimal to its reciprocal (switch the numerator and denominator). This is used when dividing fractions. We can even check to see if they have to same output.
2/5 × 5/2 = 1
8/9 × 5/2 = 40/18
2/5 ÷ 2/5 = 1
8/9 ÷ 2/5 = 40/18

A rectangular room is 6.8 meters longer than it is wide, and perimeter is 29.6 meters. Find the dimensions of the room.
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

dimensions = 10.8  X 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Breadth/ width of room = x

Length of room =  6.8 + x

perimeter = 2 ( L + B )

29.6 = 2 ( 6.8 + x + x )

29.6/2 = 6.8 + 2x

14.8 - 6.8 = 2x

8 = 2x

8/2=x

4=x

Length of room =  6.8 + x = 6.8 + 4 = 10.8 m

Breadth/ width of room = x = 4m

For circle h, jn = 3, nk = x, ln = 2, and nm = 6. solve for x. circle h with chords jk and lm intersecting at n inside the circl
nika2105 [10]

The circle is an illustration of intersecting chords.

The value of x is 4

<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Chords: jk and lm
  • Point of intersection = n
  • jn = 3, nk = x, ln = 2, and nm = 6

This means that:

jn * nk = ln * nm

So, we have:

3 * x = 2 * 6

Divide both sides by 3

x = 2 * 2

Evaluate the product

x = 4

Hence, the value of x is 4

Which is the correct reason why (x+y)^2 is not equal to x^2+y^2
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be easier to just show you.

Because we're using variables, I'm going to plug in a random set of numbers to stand for x and y.

(x+y)^2

(2+4)^2=36

vs.

x^2+y^2

2^2+4^2=20

The difference is because, following the order of operations, in the first situation you must first take care of what is in the parenthesis, which means you add x and y together-then you multiply that combined number by the 2nd power. Whereas in the second situation, you multiply x and y by the 2nd power separately, and then add the product of that together. So opposite order. In the first situation you add, then multiply. In the second, you multiply then add.
