Answer:

1 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 + 1/2

We can't directly add together because the denominator is not equal, so we do that.

The lowest common factor of the denominator is 10.

3 × 2 / 5 × 2 + 1 × 5 / 2 × 5

6/10 + 5/10

Now that they are equal, add them together (only the numerator will be added and denominator will not change).

6/10 + 5/10 = 11/10

As you can see, the numerator exceeds the denominator by 1 so you make 1 whole number and leave 1 as the numerator. This is a mixed fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{5}  +  \frac{1}{2}  \\  \\  =  \frac{3 \times 2 + 1 \times 5}{5 \times 2}  \\  \\  =  \frac{6 + 5}{10}  \\  \\  =  \frac{11}{10}  \\  \\  = 1 \frac{1}{10}

Identify as a direct variation, inverse variation or neither. The number of tons of coal burned by an old coal burning locomotiv
pochemuha
Answer: it is a direct variation.

Justification:

In a direct variation the variables are related by a proportionality constant in this way:

y = k x

Tthan means that the value of y is always the product of a constant times the value of x.

The situation discribed for the coal may be written as:
number of tons of coal burned: c

number of hours: h

⇒ c = k × h

Which is that you can calcualte the number of tons of coal burned at any time, once you know the proportionality constant k.

Mr. Fix it want to fence a rectangular lot. He has 122 feet of fencing available. If the length is 25 feet more than the width,
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Width = 18 feet

Length =  43 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x

Length = x +25

Perimeter = 122 feet

2 * (length + width) = 122

    2 * (x+25 + x) =122

          2x + 25 = 122/2

             2x +25 = 61

                   2x = 61-25

                     2x = 36

                       x = 36/2

                       x = 18 feet

Width = 18 feet

Length = 18 + 25 = 43 feet

Completing the square: x^2+2x-7=8x
tia_tia [17]

Answer: x = 7, x = -1

Step-by-step explanation: Move the term to the left side

x^2 + 2x - 7 = 8x

x^2 + 2x - 7 - 8x = 0

Combine like terms

x^2 + 2x - 7 - 8x = 0

x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0

x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0

a = 1

b = -6

c = -7

x = -(-6) + (-6)^2 - 4 x 1(-7)/ 2 x 1

Evaulate the Exponent

Multiply the numbers

Add the numbers

Evaluate the square root

Multiply the numbers x = 6 ± 8/2

To solve for the unknown variable, separate into two equations: one with a plus and the other with a minus.

x = 6 + 8/2

x = 6 - 8/2

Rearrange and isolate the variable to find each solution

x = 7

x = -1
