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.

What is 5p to the -7 power/20p to the 2 power simplified
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

p^(-9) or 1/p^9

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have:

  (5p)^(-7)

----------------

   (20p)^2

Let's temporarily remove the coefficient 5/20 and reduce it to 1/4.

then we have:

            1                             1               1

(1/4) -------------  = (1/4) -------------- = ------------

       p^7*p^2               p^(7 + 2)         p^9

Ben used 10 1/2 gallons to drive 4 3/4 hours. How many gallons did Ben use in 1 hour?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

About 2.2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Create the following proportion:

\frac{10.5}{4.75} = \frac{x}{1}

Cross multiply.

10.5 x 1 = 10.5

4.75 x X = 4.75x

4.75x = 10.5

Divide both sides by 4.75x.

10.5/4.75 = 2.2
