In simplest form means to find the greatest common factor that can go into both the numerator and denominator.

Example:
20/10 simplified to 2/1 or 2

This fraction can be simplified by 10 because 10 goes into both the numerator and denominator. 5 also goes into both, but the greatest common factor is 10.

PLEASE HELP!!!
Trava [24]
1/3x - 2 = 1/4x + 11....it looks to me like one y was subbed in for another...

ur 2 equations are :
y = 1/3x - 2 and y = 1/4x + 11...but we need them in standard form...

y = 1/3x - 2
-1/3x + y = -2 ..multiply by 3
-x + 3y = -6.....or 3y - x = -6 <==

y = 1/4x + 11
-1/4x + y = 11 ...multiply by 4
-x + 4y = 44 or 4y - x = 44 <==

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.914
Zina [86]

The given trinagle is a right angle triangle. let the missing side be x. To find x, we would apply the pythagorean theorem which is expressed as

hypotenuse^2 = one leg^2 + other leg^2

From the triangle,

hypotenuse = 14

one leg = 9

other leg = x

Thus, we have

\begin{gathered} 14^2=9^2+x^2 \\ 196=81+x^2 \\ x^2\text{ = 196 - 81 = 115} \\ x\text{ = }\sqrt[]{115} \\ x\text{ = 10.72} \end{gathered}

To the nearest tenth, the length of the third side is 10.7
