If you would like to simplify (-2)-3 -8 - 8 and 6x - 2, you can do this using the following steps:

(-2)-3 -8 - 8 = - 2 - 3 - 8 - 8 = - 5 - 8 - 8 = - 13 - 8 = - 21

6x - 2 = 2 * (3x - 1)

The correct result would be - 21 and 2 * (3x - 1).

Customers of a phone company can choose between two service plans for long distance calls. The first plan has a $22 monthly fee

vladimir2022 [97]

Company a = 22 + 0.07m
company b = 8 + 0.12m

We are looking for the time when the prices are equal. i.e. the price of company a = the price of company b

company a = company b
22 + 0.07m = 8 + 0.12m
22 - 8 = 0.12m - 0.07m
14 = 0.05m
m = 14/0.05
m = 280

Therefore, the two companies will cost the same if you talk for 280 minutes

$\dfrac{ \dfrac{x+3}{4x^2-16} }{ \dfrac{2x^2+10x+12}{2x-4} }$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Write the divide fraction horizontally:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$= \dfrac{x+3}{4x^2-16} \div \dfrac{2x^2+10x+12}{2x-4}$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Factorise the numerators and denominators when possible:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$= \dfrac{x+3}{4(x+2)(x-2)} \div \dfrac{ 2(x + 3) (x + 2)}{2(x-2)}$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Convert the divide fraction to multiplication fraction
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$= \dfrac{x+3}{4(x+2)(x-2)} \times \dfrac{2(x-2)}{2(x+3)(x+2)}$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cancel the factors
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$= \dfrac{1}{4(x+2)} \times \dfrac{1}{(x+2)}$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combine to single fraction
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$= \dfrac{1}{4(x+2)^2}$
