Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
For simplify the work we can start to factorise all the possibles expressions:
2x + 8.
8 is multiple of 2, so it can became
2(x+4)
x^2 - 16 this is a difference of two squares, so it can be rewritten as:
(x+4)(x-4)
x^2 + 8x + 16
we have to find two numbers whose sum is 8 and whose product is 16
the two number are 4 and 4
it becames:
(x+4)(x+4)
x+ 4 can‘t be simplified
if we look at the expression, we can find that x-4 appears at the numerator so
x^2 - 16 must be at numerator
but the second factor (x+4) doesn’t appear, so has been simplified. This situation can be possible only in the D option
in fact
(x+4)(x-4)/2(x+4) * (x+4)/(x+4)(x+4)
it became
(x+4)(x-4)/2 * 1/(x+4)(x+4)
(x-4)/2(x+4)
The numbers are 5 and 2.
Reciprocals: 5- 5/10
2- 2/10
(2/10)+(5/10)= 7/10
5-2= 3
Answer: 5 and 2
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Compatible numbers are defined as the numbers which are very close to the numbers that they are replacing that divides evenly into each other.
In the context, we have to estimate the quotient using the compatible numbers in order to estimate 245 divided by 3.
So, estimating 245 as 240 and 3 as 30.
Here, 240 is very close to 245 and 30 is close to 3. So the quotient is the result when we divide 240 by 30 and it divides evenly into 240.
We first divide the non zero parts of each number i.e. 24 by 3 to get the first part of the estimate.
Then we add on the zero if there were left in the problem to get your estimate.
Therefore,
240 / 30 = 8
So here, the quotient is estimated as 8.
Answer: x= 5
Step-by-step explanation: Distribute the -7 into the parentheses, we get 14x+63=133. You then minus 63 on the left side of the equation and on the right side of the equation. You will get 14x=70. You then solve x by dividing 70 by 14 you will get x=5.
