3x is the least common denominators because you need to be able to make sure all other denominators can go multiple into it. Since the rest are just x, the largest number of 3x would be the denominator you want.
60%; Since 1/5 is .2 or 20% and then multiply that by 3.
Answer: yes it is equivalent!
Step-by-step explanation:
all you do is take away the parentheses and then it is the same exact thing!
Since B is perpendicular to A. We can say that the gradient of B will be -1/7 (product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines has to be -1).
Now we know that the equation for B is y=-(1/7)x + c with c being the y intercept.
Since the point isnt specified in the question, we could leave the equation like this.
But if there is a given point that B passes through, just plug in the x and y values into their respective places and solve to find c. That should give you the equation for b.
Now, to find the solution of x, we have 2 equations:
1) y=7x+12
2)y=-(1/7)x+c
In this simultaneous equation we see that y is equal to both the expressions. So,
7x+12=-(1/7)x+c
Now, since the value of c is not found, we cannot actually find the value of x, but if we would find c, we could also find x since it would only be a matter of rearranging the equation.
And there you go, that is your solution :)
1. Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF). (There will not always be one).
2. Count the number of terms.
3. Check to be sure each factor is prime, if not, repeat 1-3.
4. Check by multiplying the factors out to see if you get the original polynomial.
