In the fairest school 70% are below 16 years old 1/3 are teachers which is equals to = 21 Let’s start solving: => 1/3 of 100% => 100 / 3 = 33.33% thus 33.33% = 21 => 21 x 3 = 63, is the total number of people in the school. Let’s try solving the number of people below 16 years old Have you notice that you are asking for a 70% of students but there are already 33.33% of teacher. Thus your given problem is not right already. => 100% - 33.33% = 66.67% that’s the only remaining percentage and not 70% => 63 * .6667 = 42.0021 Thus, there are around 42 people who are 16 years old younger.

What is the sum?<br> A<br> B<br> C<br> D
zalisa [80]

Answer:

\displaystyle{\dfrac{5x-12}{(x+3)(x-3)} }

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression:

\displaystyle{\dfrac{3}{x^2-9} + \dfrac{5}{x+3}}

First, factor the denominator \displaystyle{x^2-9} to \displaystyle{(x+3)(x-3)} via difference of two squares:

\displaystyle{\dfrac{3}{(x+3)(x-3)} + \dfrac{5}{x+3}}

Next, multiply the expression 5/(x+3) by \displaystyle{x-3} both denominator and numerator:

\displaystyle{\dfrac{3}{(x+3)(x-3)} + \dfrac{5(x-3)}{(x+3)(x-3)}}

Add both together since they have same denominator now:

\displaystyle{\dfrac{3+5(x-3)}{(x+3)(x-3)} }

Simplify the numerator:

\displaystyle{\dfrac{3+5x-15}{(x+3)(x-3)} }\\\\\displaystyle{\dfrac{5x-12}{(x+3)(x-3)} }

Therefore, the sum is:

\displaystyle{\dfrac{5x-12}{(x+3)(x-3)} }
