Okay, so to find like denominators you need to find a number that both denominators go into. For 15, they both go into 45. 9 goes in 5 times and 15 goes in 3 times. So multiply their numerators by 5 and 3. It would be 25/45 for 5/9 and it would be 12/45 for 4/15. Do the same for 16 and 17, for 16 they both go into 42 and for 17 they both go into 42.
Answer:
Distributive property.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are trying to make both sides equal.
5(x-3) = 5x-15
5x-15 = 5x-15
Answer:
Do U-Turn
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer to your problem is B.
y-4 = 3(x-2)

Answer: m = 25</h3>
====================================================
Work Shown:
Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF. The order of the lettering is important because it tells us how the angles pair up. We see that angle B and angle E are the second letters of ABC and DEF respectively. Because the triangles are congruent, this leads to angle B = angle E.
Angle B is shown to be 20 degrees, so,
angle E = angle B
2(m-15) = 20
m-15 = 20/2
m-15 = 10
m = 10+15
m = 25
------------------
A slightly alternative way to solve:
2(m-15) = 20
2m-30 = 20
2m = 20+30
2m = 50
m = 50/2
m = 25
------------------
Checking the answer:
2(m-15) = 20
2(25-15) = 20
2(10) = 20
20 = 20
We get the same thing on both sides, so we end up with a true equation. This means the first equation is true when m = 25. The solution has been confirmed.
