Micah was asked to add the following expressions:

\frac{3x^2-x-9}{x^2+3x+2} + \frac{-2x^2+2x+5}{x^2+3x+2}

First, he combined like terms in the numerator and kept the common denominator

First step is correct. He added the like terms in the numerator, because the denominators are same.

3x^2 -x -9 -2x^2+2x+5 becomes x^2 +x -4

So he got , \frac{x^2+x-4}{x^2+3x+2}

In the next step, he cannot cancel out x^2 from the top and bottom . Because x-4 and 3x+2  are added with x^2

If we have x^2 is multiplied with other terms at the top and bottom , then we can cancel out x^2.

So Micah added the expression incorrectly. Final answer is not correct.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The second graph is correct, that the line intersects x at 6 and y at 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Samuel has to sell at least $90 for his concert. According to the graph, if Samuel sells only child ticket, he will have to sell 11.5 tickets.

If Samuel sells only adult tickets, he will have to sell at least 6.
