Answer:

10/24 and 9/24

Step-by-step explanation:

24 is the common denominator because it is the next smallest number that both 12 and 8 go into. 12 x 2=24 but you have to do the same thing to the numerator if you do something to the denominator so since we multiplyed by 2 now multiply 5 by 2 and get 10. Then the same for 3/8 but 8 goes into 24 3 times so we miltiply by 3, 3x3=9 so you get 9/24 and 10/24. Hope this helps have a great day!

Answer:

a = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a-7)=a+4

Distribute 2 into left side: 2a -14 = a + 4

subtract a from both sides 2a-a-14 = a+4-a

Simplify: a - 14 = 4

Add 14 to both sides: a - 14 + 14 = 4 +14

Simplify: a = 18

If wanted, plug a into original to double check work:

plug in: 2 (18-7) = 18+4

do parenthesis first: 2 (11) = 18+4

do multiplication : 22 = 18+4

additions: 22 =22

a = 18 is correct.

Which of the following numbers could be the sides of a right triangle. A)8,15,17. B)6,8,12 C)9,11,21 D)4,13,16

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A) 8, 15, 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangle obey the Pythagorean theorem. Thus, we choose the two smaller numbers (being the cathetus) and if after applying the P. Theorem we get the biggest of each option (the hypotenuse) that means that those numbers could be the sides of a right triangle.

The Pythagorean theorem states that: $a^2+b^2=c^2$

Thus:

$\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=c$

Option A:

$\sqrt{8^2+15^2}=17$ → 17 = 17 OK!

Option B:

$\sqrt{6^2+8^2} = 10$ → 10 ≠ 12 NO

Option C:

$\sqrt{9^2+11^2} = [tex]\sqrt{202}$ [/tex] → $\sqrt{202}$ ≠ 21 NO

Option D:

$\sqrt{4^2+13^2} = \sqrt{185}$ → $\sqrt{185}$ ≠ 16 NO

The area of a triangular block is 49 square inches. If the base of the triangle is twice the height, how long are the base and t

andrezito [222]

1) Formula: area = height * base / 2

2) Call x the height:

height = x

base = 2x

3) State the equation:

(x)(2x) = 49 in^2

4) Solve the equation:

2x^2 = 49 in^s

x^2 = (49/2) in^2

x = √(49/2) in

x = 7√2 / 2 in = 3.5 √2 in

5) Solution:

height = 3.5 √2 in and base = 7√2 in

6) Verification: area = (7√2 in) (3.5√2 in) = 49 in^2

Answer: height = 3.5√2 in and base = 7√2 in.

#82 will give brainliest to best answer!

Fofino [41]

Answer:

$\frac{6}{k-6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can factor all of the following equations to turn that weird, huge looking thing into $\frac{(k+6)(k-6)}{(k-6)(k-10)}$ ÷ $\frac{(k-6)^2}{k(k-6)}$ × $\frac{6(k-10)}{k(k + 6)}$ . We know that division is simply multiplication by the reciprocal, so that whole equation will turn into $\frac{(k+6)(k-6)}{(k-6)(k-10)}$ × $\frac{k(k-6)}{(k-6)^2}$ × $\frac{6(k-10)}{k(k+6)}$ . Now we can cancel out some values if they are both in the numerator and denominator, which will turn that still huge looking thing into $\frac{6}{k-6}$ which is our final answer, as it cannot be simplified further.

Hope this helped! :)
