First,you do,2/5+2/3,but since you will need a common denominator,you will find the least common denominator for 5 and 3.The LCD(Least Common Denominator) will be 15 since both 5 and 3 could go in 15.Now,the equation looks like this: 2/15+2/15 since whatever you do to the bottom numbers,you NEED to do to the top numbers:2 and 2.Now you will need to do,2x3,since 5x3=15 and the answer to 2x3=6 then you do 2x5,since 3x5=15 the answer is 10 now the equation looks like this:6/15+10/15 now you add them together,and the answer will be 16/15 and if you want the answer to be a mixed number,it would look like this: 1 1/15. Hope this helps!
If b>a, b-a=5 so b=5+a
ab=126, using b from above
a(5+a)=126
5a+a^2=126
a^2+5a-126=0
(a+14)(a-9)=0, since a<0 the numbers are
-14 and -9
Answer:
1 inch per 2 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8 of an inch = 1/4 of a mile.
To solve the rate of inch per mile, multiply 8 to both sides (to make inch = 1)
(1/8)(8) = 1
(1/4)(8) = 8/4 = 2
The unit rate of inches per mile is 1 inch per 2 miles.

The answer is x = -1/2, -4

Answer:
Yes, these rates are equivalent because the unit rate of 6 laps per minute matches each rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
In each case we have ...
laps/minutes = (42 laps)/(7 minutes) = 6 laps/minute = (48 laps)/(8 minutes)
Yes, the rates are both 6 laps/min, so are equivalent.
