6x+1 / 2x +6 - 5/2
Factor 2 out of the denominator of the first fraction:
6x+1 / 2(x+3) - 5/2
Rewrite 5/2 to have a common denominator with the first fraction:
6x+1/2(x+3) - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Simplify terms:
6x +1 - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Use distributive property:
6x +1 - 5x -15 / 2(x+3)
Combine like terms for final answer:
(x-14) / 2(x+3)
Answer:
a = 6
b = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both 36 and 49 are perfect squares, you can find their square roots which are 6 and 7.
To check to see if it is correct, replace the a with 6 and replace the b with 7, then evaluate the exponents.
Exact form = 7/3
Decimal = 2.3
Mixed number Form = 2 1/3
Answer:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y + (4 - 2y) = 2 ← remove parenthesis on left side
y + 4 - 2y = 2, that is
- y + 4 = 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
- y = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
y = 2
