$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ k=4\qquad \boxed{y=4x}\qquad \qquad \textit{when y=6}~\hfill 6=4x\implies \cfrac{6}{4}=x\implies \cfrac{3}{2}=x$

Answer with the explanation step by step

Answer:

The answer is A. $\frac{3(x-21)}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference of this problem, start by simplifying the denominator, which will look like $\frac{3}{x+7}-\frac{42}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ . Next, multiply $\frac{3}{x+7}$ by $\frac{x-7}{x-7}$ to create a fraction with a common denominator in order to subtract from $\frac{42}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ . The problem will now look like $\frac{3}{x+7}*\frac{x-7}{x-7}-\frac{42}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ .

Then, simplify the terms in the problem by first multiplying $\frac{3}{x+7}$ and $\frac{x-7}{x-7}$ , which will look like $\frac{3(x-7)}{(x+7)(x-7)}-\frac{42}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ . The next step is to combine the numerators over the common denominator, which will look like $\frac{3(x-7)-42}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ .

Next, simplify the numerator, and to simplify the numerator start by factoring 3 out of $3(x-7)-42$ , which will look like $\frac{3(x-7-14)}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ . Then, subtract 14 from -7, which will look like $\frac{3(x-21)}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ . The final answer will be $\frac{3(x-21)}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ .

Which of the following statements describes the absolute value of a number "a"?

Softa [21]

This is a tricky question as for me. But I think, I'd go with <span>C) The distance from the number "a" to 0 on a number line can be represented by the absolute value of a number "a." As it's sounds better in practical way.</span>

What would be the answer?

cluponka [151]

When you subtract the length of the base from the length of the side, you get
(ax+9) - (4x+b) = (a-4)x +(9-b)
