Answer:
<u> 3/8.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original fraction be x / (x + 5).
Then (x + 3) / (x + 5 + 1) = 2/3
x + 3 / x + 6 = 2 / 3
Cross multiply:
3(x + 3) = 2(x + 6)
3x + 9 = 2x + 12
x = 12 - 9 = 3
The original fraction is 3 / (3 + 5)
=<u> 3/8.</u>
Answer:
#1. x = -1
Answer = 8
#2. x = 1/5
Answer = 344/25
#3. x = 14
Answer = 13328
Step-by-step explanation:
#1. a. plug in -1
f(-1)= (5(-1)^3) - (2(-1)^2 - (-1) + 14
b. Solve the exponents.
(5(-1)^3)
(5x-1)
(-5) - (2(-1)^2) - (-1) + 14
(2(-1)^2)
(2x1)
(-5) - (2) - (-1) +14
c. simplify.
(-5) - (2) + 1 + 14
-7 + 15
8
#2.
f(1/5)= (5(1/5)^3) - (2(1/5)^2 - (1/5) + 14
(5(1/5)^3)
(5 x 1/125)
(1/25) - (2(1/5)^2)
(2 x 1/25)
(2/25)
(1/25) - (2/25) - (1/5) +14
(-1/25) - (1/5) +14
Note: (1/5) turns into (5/25) so it can be subtracted.
-6/25 + 14
Note: 14 turns into 350/25 so it can be added.
350/25 - 6/25 = 344/25
#3.
f(14)= (5(14)^3) - (2(14)^2 - (14) + 14
Note: Normally you do the exponents first but I'm just going to casually take out the two 14s at the end cause they cancel each other out.
f(14)= (5(14)^3) - (2(14)^2)
( 5 (14^3))
(5 x 2744)
(13720) - (2(14^2))
(2 (14^2))
(2x196)
392
(13720) - 392
13328
Good Luck!
Answer:
if she is sewing fringe around a square table cloth, you know that a square has 4 sides, and if each of those 4 sides is 36 inches long, you would take 36 × 4, which would equal 144, i hope this helps
