Answer:
the same as multiplying them, except you're doing the opposite: subtracting where you would have added and dividing where you would have multiplied. If the bases are the same, subtract the exponents. Remember to flip the exponent and make it positive, if needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
If x represents the mass of 1 ball in kg, then the balance shows ...
... 6x = x + 9 kg
... 5x = 9 kg
Then 6x is ...
... (6/5)·5x = (6/5)·9 kg = 10.8 kg
0.8 kg = 0.8·1000 g = 800 g
so 10.8 kg is ...
... D. 10 kg 800 g
X^2-22x-48=0
x^2-24x+2x-48=0
x(x-24)+2(x-24)
(x+2)(x-24)
Solve by grouping if you are able to find distinct factors that multiply to the last term and add to the middle term...this method is rather easy with easy to manage numbers. Complete the square if you cannot find distinct factors that multiply to the last term and add to the middle term. Completing the square helps when the equation is in the form of a parabola.
now, let's take a peek at the denominators, we have 3 and 8 and 12, we can get an LCD of 24 from that.
Let's multiply both sides by the LCD of 24, to do away with the denominators.
so, let's recall that a whole is "1", namely 500/500 = 1 = whole, or 5/5 = 1 = whole or 24/24 = 1 = whole. So the whole class will yield a fraction of 1/1 or just 1.
