Answer:
The correct answer is

Step-by-step explanation:
Method 1
We want to simplify,

The double negatives becomes positive,

We now add the whole number parts and the fractions separately

This will give us,

The least common denominator for the fractional parts is 9.




Method 2
We want to simplify,

The double negatives becomes positive,

We first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions to obtain,

We carry out the multiplication in the numerator to get,

We add in the numerator to get,

The least common denominator is
.



We convert back to mixed numbers to get,

First you divide everything by 4 which will become b^2+2b-3=0
Then you can factor this which is
(b-1)(b+3)=0
B=1
B=-3 ... I think that's how you do it
Answer: Larissa
Explanation:
Fraction:
Ellen: 2/4
Larissa: 12/16 = 3/4
Because 3/4 > 2/4 => Larissa > Ellen => Larissa = most successful
Answer:
x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
Actually this is trig I believe.
cos60=8/x
x=8/cos60=16
