Reduce To Simplest Form.8/6 + (-9/5) =​

Answer:

\frac{8}{6} +\frac{-9}{5}  = \frac{-7}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

To add these two fraccions we need them to have the same denominator. In order to do so, we calculate the least common multiple (LCM) by factorizing the original denominators, selecting both common (<u>raised to the highest power</u>) and not common factors.

6 = 2*3; 5 = 5

LCM (3, 5) = 2*3*5 = 30

Now we rewrite the two fractions with their new denominator (30) and we find the numerator by dividing the new denominator with the old one and multiplying that result by the old numerator. Thus:

  • To calculate the numerator of the 1st fraction -> (30/6)*8 = 40
  • To calculate the numerator of the 2nd fraction -> (30/5)*(-9) = -54

Getting this: \frac{40}{30} +\frac{-54}{30} =  \frac{-14}{30}

Now we simplify the fraction by dividing it by 2 (we can also calculate the GCD [Greatest common divisor] {which is calculated by choosing only the common factors (<u>unlike the LCM</u>}). Thus:

  • Simplifying the numerator: -14 / 2 = -7
  • Simplifying the denominator [text]30/2 = 15[/tex]

Now we have the simplest form: \frac{-7}{15}

I hope this was helpful.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8/6 + (- 9/5) =

8/6 - 9/5 =

40/30 - 54/30 =

-14/30 reduces to - 7/15 <==

A building is 2 ft from a 7 - ft fence that surrounds the property . A worker wants to wash a window in the building 11 ft from
White raven [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

The height of the ladder is 14.491 feet

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given the height is 11 feet

Base = 7 + 2 = 9 feet

Consider the ladder to be the hypotenuse

Applying Pythagoras Theorem,  

H^2   = P^2 + B^2

Substituting the values in the above formula,

H^2  = 112 + 92

H^2  = 121 + 81

H^2 = 210

H = sqrt(210)

H = 14.491

Therefore, the height of the ladder is 14.491 feet

If f(x) = x+3 and g(x) = VX-1,<br> what is (fºg)(26)?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

26V + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the same as saying f(g(x)), where x = 26

First, lets figure out what g(x) is equal to when x = 26

g(26) = V(26) - 1 = 26V - 1

Now we input 26V - 1 into f(x) for x

f(26V-1) = (26V-1) + 3 = 26V + 2

Can you give me equation where x=16
Mashcka [7]
x = 16 in the following equations:
8 × 2 = x
8 + 8 = x
4 × 4 = x

In the following equations, x = 16:
2x = 32
<em>32 ÷ 2 = x = 16
</em>x + 5 = 21
<em>21 - 5 = x = 16</em>
