We factor the denominators
Factor x^2 - 16
x^2 - 4^2
We use a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)
so x^2 - 4^2 = (x+4)(x-4)
Replace it in the given equation

Excluded values are the values that makes the denominator 0
we have (x-4) and (x+4) in the denominator
We set the denominator =0 and solve for x
x-4 =0
Add 4 on both sides
x= 4
x+4=0
subtract 4 onboth side
so x= -4
Excluded values are x=-4 and x=4
He needs to take the LCM of 15 and 10. ( LCM = 30 )
15 × 2 = 30
10 × 3 = 30
Therefore,
Dan has to buy -

To be able to determine what fraction of a day is 45 minutes, let's first determine how many minutes are there in a day.
1 day
Let, the number = x
Then, x * 60% = 54
x * 0.60 = 54
x = 54 / 0.60
x = 90
In short, Your Answer would be: 90
Hope this helps!
