The sum of two rational numbers will always be rational. A rational number is a number that can be expressed in the form a/b with b ≠ 0. So, if we can prove that the sum of two rational numbers has a denominator, we have proven this statement. Since any rational number can be written as a/b, we can write sum of two rational numbers as a/b + c/d. We can make this ad+bc/bd. Since we proved that the sum of two rational numbers has a denominator, we also prove that their sum is rational.

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP I AM STUCK !!!!!!!!!!!Witch of the following are solutions to the equation below 5x^2-2x+16=4x^2+6x
poizon [28]
X=4

Explanation

First subtract 4x^2 + 6x from both sides of the equation

X^2 - 8x + 16 = 0

Then let’s factorice the equation using the middle-term break:

x^2 - 4x - 4x + 16 = 0
x (x - 4) - 4 (x - 4) = 0
(x - 4) (x - 4) = 0
(x - 4) ^2 = 0
x = 0

Therefore the solution to the equation is x = 4

Laura estimated the total cost of attending a private four-year university using the information in the table. Category Estimate
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

$124,400

Step-by-step explanation:

The scholarship pays for 30% of her tuition.  This leaves her responsible for 100-30 = 70% of it.  70% = 70/100 = 0.7; this makes her part of the yearly tuition

0.7(29500) = 20650

She is still responsible for her $9600 room and board per year.  Her books are paid for by the scholarship; however she still has the lab and facility fees at $850 per year.

Altogether this gives her a total of

20650+9600+850 = 31100 per year.  Over the course of 4 years, this will cost her

31100(4) = 124400
