Option a: $\frac{2}{x-2}$ is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

$\frac{5}{x-2} - \frac{3}{x-2}$

As the denominators of both terms are same, the LCM will be x-2

$\frac{5-3}{x-2}$

Subtracting

$\frac{2}{x-2}$

Hence,

Option a: $\frac{2}{x-2}$ is the right answer

Scrat [10]

Answer:

x < -10/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by -7. Because this divisor is negative, we must reverse the direction of the inequality sign, obtaining:

-7x < 10

----- < -----

-7 -7

Then x < -10/7

What Fraction Of The Wall Did Kevin Paint?

Mila [183]

Kevin painted $\frac{1}{9}$ of the wall.

Solution:

Fraction of the wall painted by Elena = $\frac{5}{9}$

Fraction of the wall painted by Matthew = $\frac{3}{9}$

Fraction of the wall painted by Kevin = ?

Full wall can be taken as 1.

<u>To find the wall painted by Kevin:</u>

Rest of the wall = Full wall – painted by Elena – Painted by Matthew

$$=1-\frac{5}{9}-\frac{3}{9}$

$$=\frac{1}{1} -\frac{5}{9}-\frac{3}{9}$

To make the denominator same, multiply the numerator and denominator of the first term by 9.

$$=\frac{9}{9} -\frac{5}{9}-\frac{3}{9}$

$$=\frac{9-5-3}{9}$

$$=\frac{1}{9}$

Rest of the wall = $\frac{1}{9}$

Hence the kevin painted $\frac{1}{9}$ of the wall.
