5/4 because the numerator and denominator are both divisible by 3

15/12 in simplest form is 5/4 but 5/4 is an improper fraction so you have to turn it into a mixed number. You do do this by dividing 5 by 4. When doing this you get 1 1/4
15 3x 5 1 1/4
----- = ----- ----
12 3x 4 4)5
- 4
------
1
Hope this helps you!

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=8\sqrt2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}\\\\\text{Use the Pythagorean theorem:}\\\\leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2\\\\\text{We have}\ leg=8,\ leg=8,\ hypotenuse=x.\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\x^2=8^2+8^2\\\\x^2=2(8^2)\to x=\sqrt{2(8^2)}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\x=\sqrt2\cdot\sqrt{8^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{a^2}=a\\\\x=8\sqrt2$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\(look\ at\ the\ picture)\\\\\text{We have}\ a=8.\ \text{Therefore}\ a\sqrt2=8\sqrt2$

Find f(g(x)) simplify completely f(x)= x^2+5x+2 g(x)=3x

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

f(g(x)) = 9x² + 15x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² + 5x + 2
g(x) = 3x

Solving f(g(x))

f(g(x))
f(3x)
f(3x) = (3x)² + 5(3x) + 2
f(3x) = 9x² + 15x + 2
f(g(x)) = 9x² + 15x + 2

The sum of three consecutive intergers is 36.if the first integer is y,find the value of y.

wariber [46]

Hi,
Since they are consecutive, the equation will be:
y + (y + 1) + ( y + 2)=36
y + y + y +1 +2 = 36
3y + 3 = 36
3y = 36-3
3y = 33
y = 33/3
y=11
The three consecutive integers are 11, 12(11+1) and 13(11+2).
Hope this helps you.
