Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
Start by writing out your starting expression
x
2
−
5
x
2
+
5
x
−
14
−
x
+
3
x
+
7
Next, factor the denominator of the first fraction
x
2
+
5
x
−
14
x
2
+
7
x
−
2
x
−
14
x
(
x
−
2
)
+
7
(
x
−
2
)
(
x
−
2
)
(
x
+
7
)
Your expression is thus equivalent to
x
2
−
5
(
x
−
2
)
⋅
(
x
+
7
)
−
x
+
3
x
+
7
Since you have to subtract two fractions, you need to find the commonon denominator first. To do that, multiply the second fraction by
x
−
2
x
−
2
x
2
−
5
(
x
−
2
)
⋅
(
x
+
7
)
−
(
x
+
3
)
⋅
(
x
−
2
)
(
x
−
2
)
⋅
(
x
+
7
)
This will get you
x
2
−
5
−
(
x
+
3
)
(
x
−
2
)
(
x
−
2
)
(
x
+
7
)
x
2
−
5
−
x
2
−
x
+
6
(
x
−
2
)
(
x
+
7
)
=
1
−
x
(
x
−
2
)
(
x
+
7
)
704 ( I'm assuming this is rectangular prism )
Follow this formula:
width x length x height = volume
Base is height x length so half of the problem is solved. Next just multiply that by the width and you found your answer.
