Write all fractions in terms of a common denominator:




Then move all fractions to one side and simplify the numerator:

The numerator dictates when the fraction reduces to 0. The denominator can never be 0, so we know that <em>y</em> cannot take any of the values -2, -9, -3, nor -8.
So the equation reduces to

Expand the left side; you would end up with




Answer:
(14,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: Let the September price be x, then
1.2x = 1.5
x = 1.5/1.2 = 1.25
Therefore, September price is $1.25
Part B: In September, they earned 0.4 * 1.25 * 900 = $450
In October, they earned 0.4 * 1.5 * 700 = $420
Therefore, they earned more money in September.
Answer:
5 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's convert all the mixed fractions to complex fractions.
6/12 + 3/12 + 4/12 + 20/12 + 33/12
Add the fractions together
66/12
How many 12's go into 66?
5 12's go into 66.
5 6/12
Simplify
5 1/2
Answer:
6.13
Step-by-step explanation:
This diagram shown is a right triangle;
USing the SOH CAH TOA idenity
Adjacent = x
Hypotenuse = 8
Angle of elevation = 40 degrees
cos theta = adj/hyp
cos 40 = x/8
x = 8cos40
x = 6.13
Hence the value of x to the nearest hundredth is 6.13
