Answer:

B. \frac{4x^{2}+24x+31}{3x^{2}+13x+12}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a rational expression \frac{(x+5)}{(3x+4)}+\frac{(x+4)}{(x+3)} and we are asked to simplify our rational expression.

We can see that our denominators are not equal. Since the two denominators do not share any common factors, the common denominator is simply the product of these two denominators.      

To keep the value of expression same we will multiply the same quantity with numerators and denominators.

\frac{(x+5)(x+3)}{(3x+4)(x+3)}+\frac{(x+4)(3x+4)}{(x+3)(3x+4)}  

Now let us simplify our expression using FOIL.  

\frac{x^{2}+3x+5x+15}{3x^{2}+9x+4x+12}+\frac{3x^2+4x+12x+16}{3x^{2}+4x+9x+12}

\frac{x^{2}+8x+15}{3x^{2}+13x+12}+\frac{3x^2+16x+16}{3x^{2}+13x+12}    

Now we have same denominators, so we can add our numerators.

\frac{x^{2}+8x+15+3x^2+16x+16}{3x^{2}+13x+12}    

Now let us combine like terms.

\frac{(1+3)x^{2}+(8+16)x+15+16}{3x^{2}+13x+12}  

\frac{4x^{2}+24x+31}{3x^{2}+13x+12}  

Therefore, the simplest form of our given rational expression will be \frac{4x^{2}+24x+31}{3x^{2}+13x+12}  and option B is the correct choice.

a circle has a circumstance of 20. it has an arc on length 4. what is the central angle of the arc in degrees?
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

∠72°.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a circle has a circumference of 20 and an arc with a length of 4, we can simply set up a ratio to determine the angle of the arc in degrees:

\frac{4}{20} = \frac{x}{360}

Cross multiply:

1440 = 20x\\

Divide both sides by '20':

x = 72°.

Therefore, the measure of the central angle of the arc is ∠72°.

Simon and his niece Marcie are comparing their ages to see if there is a Mathematical connection. They find that Simon is three
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Simon's Age = 47

Marcie's Age = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is to find Simon's age and Marcie's age.</em>

<em />

Let Simon's age be x and Marcie's age be y

<u>Simon is 3 years more than 4 times marcie, so we can write:</u>

x = 4y + 3

Also,

<u>Sum of their ages is 58, so we can write:</u>

x + y = 58

or x = 58 - y

Now, we substitute this into 1st equation and solve for y first:

x = 4y + 3\\58-y = 4y + 3\\58-3=4y+y\\55=5y\\y=\frac{55}{5}\\y=11

We know

x = 58 - y

so,

x = 58 - 11

x = 47

So,

Simon's Age = 47

Marcie's Age = 11
