Yes! It can indeed be simplified.

$\\ \\ \frac{51}{54} \\ \\ GCF = 3 \\ \\ 51 \div 3 = 17 \\ \\ 54 \div 3 = 18$

You divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor, and you will receive a new set of each. The new numerator is 17, and the new denominator is 18. Numerator = top, and denominator = bottom, so our new fraction is 17/18! Woo!

fgiga [73]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{(2x-5)(3x^2-4x+2)=6x^3-23x^2+24x-10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Use FOIL:}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(2x-5)(3x^2-4x+2)\\\\=(2x)(3x^2)+(2x)(-4x)+(2x)(2)+(-5)(3x^2)+(-5)(-4x)+(-5)(2)\\\\=6x^3-8x^2+4x-15x^2+20x-10\\\\\text{combine like terms}\\\\=6x^3+(-8x^2-15x^2)+(4x+20x)-10\\\\=6x^3-23x^2+24x-10$

A company has $14,000 in liabilities and $15,000 in equity. Calculate the company's debt to equity ratio as a percentage.

liberstina [14]

The required debt-equity ratio is 14:15

Solution:

Given:

Liabilities of the company = $14000

Equity of the company = $15000

To calculate: The debt-equity ratio

Here, the liabilities are included in the debt of the company. The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is calculated by dividing a company's total liabilities by its shareholder equity. Therefore, the debt equity ratio is as follows,

$\text { Debt Equity ratio }=\frac{\text { Debt }}{\text { Equity }}=\frac{14000}{15000}=\frac{14}{15}$
