Answer:

- 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x

Therefore, one less than a number = x - 1

(x - 1) \div 5 =  - 7 \\  \\  \frac{x - 1}{5}  =  - 7 \\ \\  x - 1 =  - 7 \times 5 \\  \\ x - 1 =  - 35 \\  \\ x = 1 - 35 \\  \\ x =  - 34

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
I may be wrong but I hope I am not. But one expression is 16 × .15 and another is 16 × 15/100. When multiplying percentages you have to move the decimal that is invisbly behind the last number, two places to the left. The answer you get is the percentage of the price. You would then take the answer and add it to the price. The answer to the multiplication problem is 2.40. You then add the 2.40 to the $16 and that's the new price.

What is the common denominator of (5/x^2-4) - (2/x+2) in the complex fraction (2/x-2) - (3/x^2-4)/(5/x^2-4) - (2/x+2)
PIT_PIT [208]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • common denominator: (x² -4)
  • simplified complex fraction: (2x +1)/(9 -2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is helpful to remember the factoring of the difference of squares:

  a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b)

__

Your denominator of (x² -4) factors as (x -2)(x +2). You will note that one of these factors is the same as the denominator in the other fraction.

It looks like you want to simplify ...

  \dfrac{\left(\dfrac{2}{x-2}-\dfrac{3}{x^2-4}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{5}{x^2-4}-\dfrac{2}{x+2}\right)}=\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{2(x+2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}-\dfrac{3}{(x-2)(x+2)}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{5}{(x-2)(x+2)}-\dfrac{2(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}\right)}\\\\=\dfrac{2(x+2)-3}{5-2(x-2)}=\boxed{\dfrac{2x+1}{9-2x}}
