Answer:

b = 10

Explanation:

Lets start by combining like terms (b):

3/2b + 1/5b

to combine these fractions you must get them to both have the same denominator:

3/2 · 5/5 = 15/10     multiply top and bottom by other fractions denominator

1/5 · 2/2 = 2/10       multiply top and bottom by other fractions denominator

15/10 + 2/10 = 17/10

17/10b = 17

Now we want to get the b to be by itself, so lets first multiply both sides by 10:

17b = 170

Now lets divide both sides by 17:

b = 10

Hope this helped!

3/2b + 1/5b = 17

Multiply both sides by the LCD.  The LCD is 2 * 5 = 10.

10 * 3/2b + 10 * 1/5b = 10 * 17

15b + 2b = 170

17b = 170

b = 10

Write x squared + 2x-8 in the form (x + m) squared + n where m and n are integers.
skelet666 [1.2K]
Let F(x) = x^2 + 2x -8

Adding 1 and - 1 at equation

F(x) = x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1 -8

Rewrinting the first 1 = 1^2

F(x) = x^2 + 2x + 1^2 - 1 - 8

Now look:

x^2 + 2x + 1^2 = ( x + 1)^2

Then,

F(x) = (x + 1)^2 -1 -8

F(x) = (x + 1)^2 -9

This is the answer !

If us to want.

(x + 1)^2 -9 = ( x+1)^2 - 3^2

= ( x+ 1 -3).(x +1 +3)

= ( x - 2).(x +4)
