\frac{789}{548}x- \frac{89}{887}=\frac{688}{8724}

first we try to semplify as much as possible the fractions.

First we decompose the numbers

789 = 3 * 263

548 = 2 * 2 * 137 = 2^2

they have nothing in common, so the first fraction remains so

89 = 89 (prime number)

887 = 887 (prime number)

they have nothing in common, so the second one remains so

688 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 43 = 2^4 * 43

8724 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 727 = 2^2 * 3 * 727

they have 2^2 (=4) in common, so the numerator and the denominator can be devided by 4

\frac{688}{8724}= \frac{688:4}{8724:4}=\frac{172}{2181}

so:

\frac{789}{548}x- \frac{89}{887}=\frac{172}{2181}

now we calculate the common denominator

take the scomposition:

548 = 2^2 * 137

887 = 887

2181 = 3 * 727

take every number one time

so the common denominator is 2^2 * 137 * 887 * 727 * 3 = 1'060'131'756

now calculate every single numerator: first we divide each denominator by the common denominator, then we moltiply the result with each numerator

first fraction: 789/548

1060131756 / 548 = 1934547

1934547 * 789 = 1526357583

second fraction: 89/887

1060131756 / 887 = 1195188

1195188 * 89 = 106371732

third one: 172/2181

1060131756 / 2181 = 486076

486076 * 172 = 83605072

now we can delete the common denominator

1526357583x - 106371732 = 83605072

solve it

1526357583x = 83605072 + 106371732

1526357583x = 189976804

x = 1526357583 / 189976804

decompose

1526357583 = 887 * 3 * 3 * 727 * 263

189976804 = 137 * 2 * 2 * 211 * 53 * 31

nothing in common

x = 1526357583 / 189976804

When it is 4:00 a.m. in Halifax, it is 1:00 p.m. in Karachi, and when it is 9:00 a.m. in Karachi, it is 5:00 a.m. in Warsaw. Mar
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

b. 13 hour, 20 min

Step-by-step explanation:

When it is 4:00 a.m. in Halifax, it is 1:00 p.m. in Karachi, this means Karachi is 9 hour ahead of Halifax.

When it is 9:00 a.m. in Karachi, it is 5:00 a.m. in Warsaw, this means that Warsaw is 4 hours behind  Karachi.

She arrived to Karachi at 3:00 pm, Tuesday. Local time. When is 3:00 pm in Karachi is 11:00 am in Warsaw.

The difference between 9:40 am, Monday and 11:00 am, Tuesday, both in Warsaw local time is 13 hour 20 min.

What is the solution to the inequality
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

p > 5 and p <-8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you first need to isolate p.

First add 6 on both sides of the equation:

-6 + |2p+3| >7\\\\(+6) -6 + |2p+3| >7 +6\\\\2p + 3 > 13

Then subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

2p+3-3>13-3\\\\2p > 10\\

The divide both sides by 2.

\dfrac{2p}{2}>\dfrac{10}{2}\\\\p>5

Another solution is possible because of the absolute value.

If |2p+3|>13

Then |2p+3|

<em>Thus we can solve the second solution:</em>

|2p+3|

2p+3

Isolate P again by subtracting both sides by 3

2p+3-3

2p

Then divide both sides by 2:

\dfrac{2p}{2}

p

Triangle RST has sides measuring 22 inches and 13 inches and a perimeter of 50 inches. What is the area of triangle RST? Round t
VladimirAG [237]

Using the Heron's formula, the area of the triangle is: D. 95 square inches.

<h3>What is the Heron's Formula?</h3>

Area = √[s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)] where s is half the perimeter, or (a + b + c)/2.

Given the following:

s = semi-perimeter = 1/2(50) = 25 in.

a = length of side a = 22 in.

b = length of side b = 13 in.

c = length of side c = 50 - 22 - 13 = 15 in.

Plug in the values

Area = √[25(25 - 22)(25 - 13)(25 - 15)]

Area = √[25(3)(12)(10)]

Area ≈ 95 square inches.
