100 POINTS PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!! Explain the concept of using cancellation to reduce fractions.

Mathematics

morpeh [17]3 years ago

Cancelling fractions is also called simplifying fractions. Basically, a fraction can be made simpler by dividing the top and bottom by the same number. Both the top and bottom must divide evenly for you to simplify the fraction.

How do you reduce fractions before multiplying?

The first step when multiplying fractions is to multiply the two numerators. The second step is to multiply the two denominators. Finally, simplify the new fractions. The fractions can also be simplified before multiplying by factoring out common factors in the numerator and denominator.

Got this from google, hope it's close to what you were looking for.

If the area of a square is 36 square unit what si the length of a side of the square​
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The length of the square is 6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that all sides of the square are the same and the area of square formula is A = length×breadth. So let's make x as the sides :

area = length \times breadth

let \: area = 36 \\ let \: sides \:  = x

36 = x \times x

{x}^{2}  = 36

x = ± \sqrt{36}

x = 6 \: units

x =  - 6 \: (rejected)

Do I have to solve this before graphing it and if so how do I go about it?
defon

Given the System of Equations:

\begin{cases}y=4x-1 \\  \\ y=x-4\end{cases}

The exercise asks for solving it graphically. Then, in this case, you need to graph both lines in order to determine the solution of the system.

In order to graph it, you can find the x-intercepts and the y-intercepts:

1. It is important to remember the Slope-Intercept Form of the equation of a line:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the intercept.

In this case, you can identify that the y-intercept of the first line is:

b_1=-1

And the y-intercept of the second line is:

b=-4

2. By definition, the value of "y" is zero when the line intersects the x-axis.

Then, you need to substitute the following value of "y" into each equation and then solve for "x", in order to find the x-intercept of each line:

y=0

- For the first line, you get:

\begin{gathered} y=4x-1 \\ 0=4x-1 \\ 1=4x \\  \\ \frac{1}{4}=x \\  \\ x_1=0.25 \end{gathered}

- For the second line, you get:

\begin{gathered} y=x-4 \\ 0=x-4 \\ 4=x \\ x_2=4 \end{gathered}

3. Now you know that the first line passes through these two points:

(0.25,0);(0,-1)

And the second line passes through these two points:

(4,0);(0,-4)

4. Knowing those points, you can graph the lines:

Notice that the line intersect each other at
