Answer:

x = - $\frac{7}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

20x + 12 = 4x - 16 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

16x + 12 = - 16 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

16x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = $\frac{-28}{16}$ = - $\frac{7}{4}$ [ = - 1.75 ]

10. Simplify the rational expression by rationalizing the denominator. 3 sqrt 160/sqrt 1350x A) 2 sqrt 15x/15x B) 3 sqrt 160/135

Viefleur [7K]

The simplified expression by rationalizing the denominator is (C) $\frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{15x}$ .

First we must simplify the expression:
$\frac{3 \sqrt{160} }{\sqrt{1350x} } = \frac{12 \sqrt{10} }{15 \sqrt{6x} } = \frac{4 \sqrt{10} }{5 \sqrt{6x} }$

Then we factor the rational parts and cancel it out:
$\frac{4 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{5} }{5 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{3x} } = \frac{4\sqrt{5} }{5\sqrt{3x} }$

Then we rationalize the expression:
$\frac{4\sqrt{5} }{5\sqrt{3x} } * \frac{\sqrt{3x} }{\sqrt{3x} } = \frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{5*3x} = \frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{15x}$

<span>Finally, the simplified expression by rationalizing the denominator is (C) $\frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{15x}$ .</span>

Which do you think will have a greater value, 1/8 of one pound gold or 1/4 of lead? Why?

Ivenika [448]

<span>if you multiply 1/8 by 4, the fraction become 4/32, and if you multiply 1/4 by 8 you get 8/32.Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can find which fraction has the greater value. Since 1/4(8/32) has a greater numerator, the 1 pound of lead will have a larger value.</span>
