Let's define variables:
x1: gear 1
x2: gear 2
The relationship between gears is:
x1 / x2 = (1 1/2) / (1/2)
Rewriting:
x1 / x2 = (3/2) / (1/2)
x1 / x2 = (3 * (1/2)) / (1/2)
x1 / x2 = 3
Another unit rate is:
x2 / x1 = (1/2) / (1 1/2)
x2 / x1 = (1/2) / (3/2)
x2 / x1 = (1/2) / (3 * (1/2))
x2 / x1 = 1/3
Answer:
two unit rates to represent the gear ratio are:
x1 / x2 = 3
x2 / x1 = 1/3
like terms: -a^2b and 5a^2b
choice b
the answer is 126 I swear to god I am not a liar I am smart in math
Answer:
2x² - 5x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x - 3)(2x + 1)
Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is
x(2x + 1) - 3(2x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis
= 2x² + x - 6x - 3 ← collect like terms
= 2x² - 5x - 3
Leticia made a mistake in her step 2. She did subtraction before multiplication.

<h3>How to simplify an expression?</h3>
The expression can be simplified as follows;
4.5 ÷ 0.25 + 2.5 - 0.75 × 8
Hence, using Pemdas rule,
4.5 ÷ 0.25 + 2.5 - 0.75 × 8
18 + 2.5 - 0.75 × 8
18 + 2.5 - 6 = 14.5
Therefore, she made mistake in her step 2 because she was suppose to solve the multiplication before subtraction.
