Because algebra means finding the unknown
it is usually used in real life
for example if if 1/2 of the legnth of a line is 8 then what is the legnth
so then 1/2 x=8 and that is algebraic
since it has x, or an unknown in it, it is an algebraic expression

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the fractions are being multiplied

Factorise the denominators of both fractions

x² - 3x - 10 = (x - 5)(x + 2)

x² + x - 12 = (x + 4)(x - 3)

The product can now be expressed as

\frac{x-5}{(x-5)(x+2)} × \frac{x+2}{(x+4)(x-3)}

Cancel (x - 5) and (x + 2) on the numerators/ denominators, leaving

\frac{1}{(x+4)(x-3)} = \frac{1}{x^2+x-12}

Jane is painting her room. She mixes 3 pints of blue paint with 4 pints of red paint to get her desired color. Which equation ca
Lady bird [3.3K]
Well if she added three blue and four red originally, and is now using 16 red then we would divide 16 by the original four. Which means to get the number of blue we are gonna end up multiplying by four. So three times four is twelve. Which means she would use 12 blue and 16 red to get the same color she got with 3 blue and 4 red earlier. The equation, lets use x for blue and y for red, would be 4(3x + 4y) = desired color
