Answer

so there are 7 singing acts and 5 comedy acts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= number of singing acts.

Let y= number of comedy acts.

We will take x+y=12 as our first equation, as there are 12 shows in total. We will take 5x+3y=50 as our second equation as there are 50 total minutes, and singing acts are 5 mins and comedy acts are 3 mins.

We solve x+y=12

Y=-x+12

We know y=-x+12, so we will substitute that for the y in the second equation.

1. Substitute 5x+3(-x+12)=50

2. Distribute 5x-3x+36=50

3. Solve 2x+36=50

2x=14

X=7

Now that we have found x, we will find y by substitute the x in 5x+3y=50 with the value, 7, that we found for x.

5(7)+3y=50

35+3y=50

3y=15

Y=5

Find the lowest common denominator of p+3/p^2+7 p+10 and p+5/p^2+5 p+6
VMariaS [17]
We first need to factorize (if possible) the denominators:

we can see that p^2+7p+10=(p+2)(p+5) as 2 and 5 are two numbers whose sum is 7 and product is 10.


Similarly, we can see that p^2+5p+6=(p+3)(p+2) as 2 and 3 are two numbers whose sum is 5 and product is 6.

Thus, the expression is:

\displaystyle{  \frac{p+3}{(p+2)(p+5)} + \frac{p+5}{(p+3)(p+2)}.


Now to make the denominators equal, but to also keep them as small as possible, the common denominator must be (p+3)(p+2)(p+5).


Answer: (p+3)(p+2)(p+5).
