Steps
find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (which is called the Least Common Denominator).
Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator.
Then add (or subtract) the fractions, as we wish!
your denominators stay the same so its 20
Answer:
(-2, -3)
(3, 12)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we're gonna get rid of the y's with substitution
x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3
Let's make this equation equal to zero
Subtract 3 from both sides
x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3
- 3 - 3
x² + 2x - 6 = 3x
Subtract 3x from both sides
x² + 2x - 6 = 3x
- 3x - 3x
x² - x - 6 = 0
Factor the equation
(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0
This means x can be -2 or 3
Let's solve it with -2 first, plug the new x in y = 3x + 3
y = 3(-2) + 3
y = -6 + 3 = -3
Do the same for x = 3
y = 3(3) + 3
y = 9 + 3 = 12
3 1/2 cm or 3.5 cm. Because you should divide 280 by 80 which equals 3.5. turn 3.5 to centimeters. Thats your answer.
Since we know the polygons are similar, the side length ratio of each side must be equal.
13/5 = x/10
Multiply both sides by 10
x = 26
That's your answer. Have a nice day! :)
