-2/3-5/6= write in simplest form

1 answer:

3 0

-2/3 - 5/6

We need common denominators so, since 3 can go into 6, we only need to multiply the first fraction by 2.

= -2 x 2 / 3x2 - 5/6
= -4 / 6 - 5/6

We only subtract the numbers that are in the numerators,

= -4-5 / 6
= -9/6

Both nine and six are divisible by 3, so to put into lowest terms...

=-9÷3 / 6÷3
= -3/2 <--- Final Answer

Solve this equation 4log√x - log 3x =log x^2

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

$x = \frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

*Move terms to the left and set equal to zero:

4㏒(√x) - ㏒(3x) - ㏒(x²) = 0

*simplify each term:

㏒(x²) - ㏒(3x) - ㏒(x²)

㏒(x²÷x²) -㏒(3x)

㏒(x²÷x² / 3x)

*cancel common factor x²:

㏒( $\frac{1}{3x}$ )

*rewrite to solve for x :

10⁰ = $\frac{1}{3x}$

1 = $\frac{1}{3x}$

1 · x = $\frac{1}{3x}$ · x

1x = $\frac{1}{3}$

*that would be our answer, however, the convention is to exclude the "1" in front of variables so we are left with:

x = $\frac{1}{3}$
