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.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

A. 30 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 5,280 feet by 1,760, you get a quotient of 3. Then you multiply 10 times 3 to get 30 miles.

In the figure, AB is parallel to CD, XY is the perpendicular bisector of AB, and E is the midpoint of XY. Prove that △AEB ≅ △DEC
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

From top to bottom:

A, J, E, B, I, C, D, G, F, H

See below for more clarification.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that AB is parallel to CD, XY is the perpendicular bisector of AB, and E is the midpoint of XY. And we want to prove that ΔAEB ≅ ΔDEC.

Statements:

1) XY is perpendicular to AB.

Definition of perpendicular bisector.

2) XY ⊥ CD.

In a plane, if a transveral is perpendicular to one of the two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other.

3) m∠AXE = 90°, m∠DYE = 90°.

Definition of perpendicular lines.

4) ∠AXE ≅ ∠DYE.

Right angles are congruent.

5) XE ≅ YE

Definition of a midpoint.

6) ∠A ≅ ∠D.

Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

7) ΔAEX ≅ ΔDEY

AAS Triangle Congruence*

(*∠A ≅ ∠D, ∠AXE ≅ ∠DYE, and XE ≅ YE)

8) AE ≅ DE

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC).

9) ∠AEB ≅ ∠DEC

Vertical Angles Theorem

10) ΔAEB ≅ ΔDEC

ASA Triangle Congruence**

(**∠A ≅ ∠D, AE ≅ DE, and ∠AEB ≅ ∠DEC)
