What is -5/12 - 4/14 + 6/34

Mathematics
1 answer:
andrew11 [14]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

4 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at this expression as given in the original problem; the numbers, properly typewritten, are    -5  1/2,  - 4  1/4,  + 6  3/4.

We want to combine these three numbers into one.

To do this, we need the LCD; it is 4.

Thus, -5  1/2 is rewritten as  -5  2/4.

Then we have

-5  2/4 - 4  1/4 + 6  3/4  = -5 -4 + 6 + 2/4 + 1/4 + 3/4.

This simplifies to:                 +3 + 6/4, or 3 + 1  + 2/4, or

                                                                      4  1/2

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The correct answer is x =9

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the polygons are similar.

Then the ratio of  corresponding sides are equal.

<u>To find the ratio of corresponding sides</u>

corresponding sides are

16 and 12   ratio  = 12/16 = 3/4

32 and 24 ratio  = 24/32 = 3/4

x - 1 and 6

y + 1 and 21

Therefore we can write 6/(x-1) = 3/4

<u>To find the value of x</u>

6/(x-1) = 3/4

24 = 3(x-1)

24 = 3x - 3

3x = 27

x = 27/3

x = 9

Therefore the value of x = 9

I don’t know how to solve this
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

x=0, -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by factoring. We will factor by GCF the greatest common factor. 8x^2 and 6x share several factors in common:

  • they both share an x
  • they both share 2

I pull out 2x and I get 2x(4x+3)=0. I now set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x.

2x=0

x=0


4x+3=0

4x=-3

x=-3/4
