Answer: Simplified form will be

\frac{(x-5)}{(x-4)}

Explanation:

Since we have given that

\frac{5x^2-21x-20}{5x^2-16x-16}

We need to simplify the expression, we get,

\frac{5x^2-25x+4x-20}{5x^2-20x+4x-16}\\\\\text{We will split the middle terms}\\\\=\frac{5x(x-5)+4(x-5)}{5x(x-4)+4(x-4)}\\\\=\frac{(5x+4)(x-4)}{(5x+4)(x-4)}\\\\\text{ Cancel the common terms}\\\\=\frac{(x-5)}{(x-4)}

Hence, simplified form will be

\frac{(x-5)}{(x-4)}

Not sure if you can do this but it sounds like a velocity/time/distance equation.
d=vt
v=d/t
t=d/v

70 w/m = t
15 pages - 350 w/p

She can type 70 words per minute (w/m). There are 350 words per page (w/p). She needs 15 pages. So first you have to find how many words she can type in one hour. 60 minutes in an hour, she can type 70 w/p.

60x70=4,200 words per hour (w/h).

Next you should find out how many words on 15 pages total.
350x15= 5,250.

I would put 4,200/5,250 as a fraction to gage how much she has left. She has most of it done already in ONE HOUR. Reduced, she has done 4/5s of the essay. Now you just need to get 1/5 of 5250, which is 1050.

She needs to do 1050 words. If one minute is 70, do 1050/70 which is 15.

The answer is 1 hour and 15 minutes.

I think... ;)

Fully explain the solution set to the equation below.<br> 1x = -1
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The answer for x should equal: -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we would divide, our final value, by 1 to get x. In other words, you would divide: -1 ÷ 1 to get -1 as our unknown number.

Use the rule for y= -6x +8 to find the output if the input is x=20
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The output of the function y = -6x + 8 when the input is x = 20 is -112.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -6x + 8

Input the value x = 20.

y = -6(20) + 8

Multiply -6 and 20.

y = -120 + 8

Add -120 and 8.

y = -112.

In how many ways can you choose 2 side dishes out of 8
Alina [70]
The first choice can be any one of the 8 side dishes.
               For each of these . . .
The 2nd choice can be any one of the remaining 7.

     Total number of ways to pick 2 out of 8 = (8 x 7) = 56 ways .

BUT ...

That doesn't mean you can get 56 different sets of 2 side dishes.

For each different pair, there are 2 ways to choose them . . .
(first A then B), and (first B then A).  Either way, you wind up with (A and B).

So yes, there are 56 different 'WAYS' to choose 2 out of 8.
But there are only 28 different possible results, and 2 'ways'
to get each result.
