Because you need to have the same denominators to subtract fractions, you need to find the LCM of 15 and 9. The LCM of 15 and 9 is 45. Because 15 goes into 45 3 times, you multiply 2* 3 to find the numerator. Because 9 goes into 45 5 times, you multiply 5*5 to find the numerator. The new equation is 25/45 - 6/45. The answer is 19/45, which cannot be simplified any further.

Use the circuits shown to solve each of the following:
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

1. R = 8 ohms 2. V = 32 volts

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>1. We have,</h3>

Voltage, V = 16 V

Current, I = 2 A

We need to find the resistance of the circuit. Using Ohm's law,

V = IR

So,

R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{16}{2}\\\\R=8\ \Omega

2. Current, I = 8 A

Resistance, R = 4 ohms

We need to find the voltage of the circuit. Using Ohm's law again,

V = 8 × 4

V = 32 volts

Hence, this is the required solution.

Need help on this lowkey
Alik [6]
Problem 42 is 4 because 2(3+4)= 14 So 2x3 is 6. (14-6=8) so them 2x4 is 8.

Problem 43 is 6 because 5(6+3)= 45 So 5x3 is 15 (45-15=30) and 5x6=30

In problem 44 7x4=28 and 4x5=20 so you do 28+20 to get 48. (48 divided by 4 is 12) So 12-7 is 5. 5 is the answer

Problem 45: 6x4=24 and 6x3=18. 24+18=42. (42 divided by 6 is 7) so the last one could be anything added together to make 7.
Ex: 6+1 5+2 4+3

Please help find the measurement of exterior angle MBI
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The measure of an exterior angle is found by the following formula: Aˆ0B=^AB-^CD2. An interior angle has its vertex at the intersection of two lines that intersect inside a circle. The sides of the angle lie on the intersecting lines. You can find a measure of an exterior angle of a regular polygon with  

N  sides.  It is equal to   360 o N .

Step-by-step explanation:  

Angles of a general polygon (exterior and interior) with more than 3 sides are not defined by the lengths of its sides.  

However, we can calculate the sum of all interior or exterior angles of any convex polygon. It equals to  360 o .

It can be proven geometrically since each exterior angle describes a rotation by some angle and a sum of all exterior angles describes a rotation by full angle of  

360 o . So, if all exterior angles are equal, like in a regular polygon, each one equals to  360 o N .

It can also be defined with some algebraic calculations based on the fact that a sum of all interior angles is  ( N − 2 ) ⋅ 180 o .  

Dividing the above by  N

we will obtain a value of an interior angle:  ( N − 2 ) ⋅ 180o N .  

Therefore, exterior angle of a regular polygon is  180 o − ( N − 2 ) ⋅ 180 o N = 360 o N
