Answer:
72 / 123 * 100 = 58.53658537 per cent
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: you can only add like terms, for example; 2x + 3x = 5x as they both have an x next to the numbers.
you cannot simplify 2 + 4x as they both don’t have an x next to them.
hence why, the answer to 2x^2 + 15x^2 would be 17x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The measure of the unknown angle is 15°.
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent this angle by A. Then the complement of A is 90° - A.
"Angle whose complement is five times its measure" would be expressed as
90° - A = 5A
Solve this for A by adding A to both sides:
90° = 6A. Then A = 90°/6, or 15°
Answer is -6(see photo for step by step):
Hi there!
Question 1:
For this, we are taking away 1/4 yards of spring from 7/8 yards. This is essentially just subtracting 1/4 from 7/8. This then gives us the equation:
Now, to subtract these, we want to make it so the denominators are the same, or the numbers on the lower half are the same. (One way to explain why this is true is: 
). Now, to make it so the denominators are the same, we can multiply the second fraction, 1/4, by 2/2 as 2/2 is essentially 1, and multiplying by 1 will get the same result, just with a denominator switched in this case. Doing this, we get:
Now, subtracting the numerators, we get:
yards of string will remain.
Question 2:
For this, we are combining these two thicknesses, and thus we add 1/4 to 7/12. This gives us the equation:
Now, we again want to make it so the denominators are the same. (Here's a similar proof but for addition this time: 
). Now, to make the denominators the same, we can multiply the first fraction, 1/4, by 3/3 (also equivalent to 1). Doing this, we get:
, which is equivalent to (dividing both the top and the bottom by 2) 
inches.
Hope this helps!
