Here is the work to help you understand the problem.
\frac{x+9}{8}-\frac{x+3}{x+2}

\mathrm{Find\:the\:least\:common\:denominator\:} \ \textgreater \  8\left(x+2\right)

\mathrm{Adjust\:Fractions\:based\:on\:the\:LCD} \ \textgreater \  \frac{\left(x+9\right)\left(x+2\right)}{8\left(x+2\right)}-\frac{\left(x+3\right)\cdot \:8}{8\left(x+2\right)}

\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}: \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}

\frac{\left(x+9\right)\left(x+2\right)-8\left(x+3\right)}{8\left(x+2\right)}

Expand \left(x+9\right)\left(x+2\right)-8\left(x+3\right)

\left(x+9\right)\left(x+2\right)
\mathrm{Distribute\:parentheses\:using}: \left(a+b\right)\left(c+d\right)=ac+ad+bc+bd
Where\; a=x,\:b=9,\:c=x,\:d=2

x\cdot \:x+x\cdot \:2+9\cdot \:x+9\cdot \:2 \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:2x+9x=11x

xx+11x+2\cdot \:9 \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}: \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}

xx=\:x^{1+1}=\:x^2 \ \textgreater \  x^2+11x+2\cdot \:9 \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:9\cdot \:2=18

x^2+11x+18 \ \textgreater \  x^2+11x+18-8\left(x+3\right)

-8\left(x+3\right) \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Distribute\:parentheses\:using}: \:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac
Where\;a=-8,\:b=x,\:c=3

-8\cdot \:x-8\cdot \:3 \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:8\cdot \:3=24 \ \textgreater \  -8x-24

x^2+11x+18-8x-24 \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Group\:like\:terms} \ \textgreater \  x^2+11x-8x+18-24

\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:11x-8x=3x \ \textgreater \  x^2+3x+18-24

\mathrm{Add/Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:18-24=-6 \ \textgreater \  x^2+3x-6

\frac{x^2+3x-6}{8\left(x+2\right)}

Hope this helps!

The simplified form of (x+9)/8 - (x+3)/(x+2) is:

x^2+3x-6 over 8 (x+2)

Work:

1. (x+9)(x+2) - (x+3) x 8 over 8 (x+2)

2. (x+9)(x+2) - 8(x+3) over 8(x+2)

3. x^2 + 2x + 9x + 18 - 8x -24 over 8(x+2)

4. x^2 + (2x + 9x - 8x) + (18 - 24) over 8(x+2)

= x^2+3x-6 over 8 (x+2)

The measures of two angles of a triangle are 61 and 84 degrees. Find the measure of the third angle.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The measure of the third angle is 35°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the three angles of a triangle is always 180°.

Let the measure of the third angle be x.

∴ 61° + 84° + x = 180°

           145 + x =180°

                    x = 180 - 145

                    x = 35°

Hope this answer was helpful!!

How much paint does Brielle need to finish her room
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Paint Needed = 1.25 gallons = It means 1 gallon and 1 quart of paint is needed to paint the Briellie's room.

Step-by-step explanation:

As, this question is incomplete, so we will create similar question and complete it. '

Let's suppose Brielle's room has following dimensions:

Length of two walls =  10 ft

Length of other two walls = 12 ft

Height of the room from bottom to ceiling = 10 ft

In order to calculate the amount of paint needed, we need to calculate the surface area of the room to be painted.

So, for that, add all the lengths together and multiply it by height of the room.

SF = (L1 +L2 +L3+ L4) x H

SF = (10 + 10 + 12 + 12) x (10)

SF = 440 sq.ft = Actual footage of the room to be painted.

Now, we have convert this number in gallons to know the amount of paint required to paint Brielle's room. For this, we need to divide our SF to 350 sq.ft per gallon.

Paint Needed = 440 sq.ft / 350 sq.ft per gallon

Paint Needed = 1.25 gallons = It means 1 gallon and 1 quart of paint is needed to paint the Briellie's room.
