Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

12/55

Discussion:

Start by simplifying the numerator:

( 3/(5b) - 2/(5b)) / ( 1/(4b) + 2/(3b) ) = => as 3/(5b)- 2/(5b) = 1/(5b)

(1/(5b) / (1/(4b) + 2/(3b) ) = => multiply num., denom. by "b"

(b * 1/(5b)) / ( b/(4b) +2b/(3b)) = => as b/b = 1

(1/5) / (1/4 + 2/3) = => 1/4 = 3/12; 2/3 = 8/12

(1/5)/ ( 3/12 + 8/12) =

(1/5)/ ( 11/12) = => 1/ (11/12) = 12/11

(1/5) 12/11 =

12/55

Answer: 14 gallons of gasoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

25(x + 3) = 424

where x is the number of gallon of gasoline needed to purchase.

Solution.

25(x + 3) = 424

first we open the bracket

25x + 75 = 424

collect like terms

25x = 424 – 75

25x = 349

divide both sides by 25

25x/25 = 349/25

x = 13.96

x = 14

Find a and b if the point p(6,0) and Q(3,2) lie on the graph of ax+ by=12

tiny-mole [99]

to get the equation of any straight line we only need two points off of it, hmmm let's use P and Q here and then let's set the equation in standard form, that is

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

$(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{6}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{-3}\implies -\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{6})$

$\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3(y-0)~~ = ~~3\left( -\cfrac{2}{3}(x-6) \right)}\implies 3y=-2(x-6) \\\\\\ 3y=-2x+12 \implies \stackrel{a}{2} x+\stackrel{b}{3} y=12$

Remove the parentheses from the expression (–2) – (–3). A. 2 – 3 B. –2 + 3 C. 2 + 3 D. –2 – 3

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative of a negative is a positive, so B is your choice. Think of it anothe way, if it helps. Imagine that the expression is this:

(-2) + (-1)(-3) since every subtraction problem can be rewritten as an addition problem.

We would first, by orders of operation, multiply the -1 and the -3 getting 3. Then the problem would simplify down to -2 + 3

Just another idea to ponder...
