3/8 + 5/12 =

We can calculate the mmc between 8 and 12

8, 12 | 2

4 , 6 | 2

2 , 3 | 2

1 , 3 | 3

1, 1 | 1

mmc = 2 × 2× 2×3

mmc = 24

24 ÷ 8 = 3

And

24 ÷ 12 = 2

3/8 + 5/12 = ( 3× 3+ 5×2)/24

= (9 + 10)/24

= 19 / 24

Answer = 19/24

Another way of calculating would be to multiply the denominator and multiply the extremes.


3/8 + 5/12 = ( 3 × 12 + 8×5)/8×12

= ( 36 + 40)/96

= 76/96

Division by 2

= 38 / 48

Division by 2

= 19 / 24

I hope this has helped.

How do you factor 2x^2-9x-5?
maks197457 [2]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:  (2x + 1) (x-5)

Discussion:

To factor the polynomial let's find its roots using the quadratic formula:


x = ( -b -+\- sqrt ( b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a which in our case is:


x =    ( - (-9) +\- sqrt ( (-9^2 - 4*2*(-5)) )   /(2*2)

x =  ( 9 +\-  sqrt (81 + 40))/4 =>

x = ( 9  +\- sqrt(121))  / 4 =>

x = ( 9 +\- 11) /4 as sqrt (121) =11

Finally then,

x = ( 9 - 11) /4  = -2/4 = -1/2 and

x = (9 + 11)/4 = 20/4 = 5

So the polynomial factors as follows:

( 2x - (-1) ) ( x - 5) or

(2x + 1) (x-5)



Thank you,

MrB

What is the measure of ZMJK in the figure below?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Angle MJK = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

In ∆MJL & ∆LJK,

JL= JL ...(common side)

Angle JML = Angle JKL ....( each 90°)

MJ = JK ....( Both measures 7)

Hence, by SAS criteria, ∆ MJL = ∆ LJk

.°. by C.P.C.T , ∠MJL = ∠LJK = 32°

Also,

∠MJK = ∠MJL+∠LJK

∠MJK = 32°+32°

<h2>∠MJK = 64°</h2>
