Perform the indicated operation.(3/a+2) + (4/a-5)

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$\frac{7(a-1)}{(a+2)(a-5)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this operation we need to find the common multiple of both denominators and solve for a.

$\frac{3}{a+2} + \frac{4}{a-5} =\frac{3(a-5)+4(a+2)}{(a+2)(a-5)} =\frac{3a-15+4a+8}{(a+2)(a-5)} =\frac{7a-7}{(a+2)(a-5)} =\frac{7(a-1)}{(a+2)(a-5)}$

Thus, the solution is 7(a -1) / (a+2)(a-5)

The length of pathway is 10 inches on map.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total distance = 350 miles

According to map,

1 inch = 35 miles

Let, x be the number of inches on map.

Therefore, using proportion;

Inch : mile :: inch : mile

$1:35::x:350\\$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$35*x=350*1\\35x=350\\$

Dividing both sides by 35;

$\frac{35x}{35}=\frac{350}{35}\\x=10$

The length of pathway is 10 inches on map.

PLZ HELP ME PLZZZ 15 PTS Mr. Rodriguez asked 60 randomly chosen students from each grade level at Willowbrook School about their

vredina [299]

12/60 students chose science fiction

Approximately x/150 students prefer sf

60x = 1800

x = 30

30/150 students are assumed to prefer sf

30/150 = x/100

150x = 3000

x = 20

20/100 students are likely to prefer sf

Mr. Rodriguez made a reasonable estimate for the approximate percentage of students that prefer science fiction, because if 12/60 is equivalent to 30/150 which refers to the number of students who can be assumed to prefer science Fiction out of the whole school. Considering we need to identify what 30/150 as a percentage is, we can reduce it down to 1/5 to make I easier, then divide 1 by 5 to get .2
.2 as a percentage is 20%, so his inference was indeed reasonable.
