First, we need to add 2/6 and 2/5.

2/6 can be simplified to 1/3

We need to have 1/3 and 2/5 have the same denominator. 3 and 5's LCM (least common multiply) is 15.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5. This equals 5/15.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 3. This equals 6/15.

5/15 plus 6/15 is 11/15. This means that Jack's 6000 dollars is 4/15.

Let's say that x is the total amount invested by all three.

6000/x would equal 4/15.

Solve this by multiply 6000 by 15 and 4 by x and making these two equal each other.

90000 would equal 4x. Divide both sides by 4 to get x.

90000 divided by 4 would be 22500.

4/15 is the fraction by Jack

22500 is the total amount invested by all 3

What the equations are
strojnjashka [21]
So, first lets define our variables: 
 
let x = the number of dimes
let y = the number of nickels

so our first equation would be x+y = 16

Since dimes are 10 cents and nickels are 5 cents the next equation would be as follows: 

.10x+.05y = 1.35

now change the first equation so y = -x+16
now substitute:

.10x+.05(-x+16) = 1.35
then multiply so you get .10x+-.05x+0.8=1.35

combine like terms and you get .05x+0.8 = 1.35
then subtract 0.8 from both sides and you get .05x = 0.55 then subtract
and you get x = 11 then substitute 11 for where x should be and you should get y = 5

So, you have 11 dimes and 5 nickels

Can anyone factor this?? I'm a little lost tysm!!!!<br> 5x^2+12x+4 5x 2 +12x+4
Sergio039 [100]

For a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c rewrite the middle term as a sum of two terms whose product is a⋅c=5⋅4=20 and whose sum is b=12.

<u>Factor 12 out of 12x.</u>

5x^2+12(x)+4

<u>Rewrite 12 as 2 plus 10</u>

5x^2+(2+10)x+4

Apply the distributive property.

5x^2+2x+10x+4

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

(5x^2+2x)+10x+4

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

x(5x+2)+2(5x+2)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, 5x+25x+2.

(5x+2)(x+2)
