Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{x^2-4}{x+3} ÷ \frac{x^2-4x+4}{4x+2}

The first step is to factor numerators/denominators, if possible

x² - 4 = (x - 2)(x + 2) ← difference of squares

x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 2)(x - 2) ← perfect square

4x + 2 = 2(2x + 1)

To divide the expressions follow the steps

• Leave the first fraction

• Change division to multiplication

• Turn the second fraction upside down

We now have

\frac{(x-2)(x+2)}{x+3} × \frac{2(2x+1)}{(x-2)(x-2)}

Final step is to cancel common factors from the numerators/denominators

= \frac{2(2x+1)(x+2)}{(x+3)(x-2)} ← quotient

A music website charges x dollars for individual songs and y dollars for entire albums. Person A pays $25.92 to download 6 indiv
kati45 [8]
Amount charged for downloading individual songs = x dollars
Amount charged for downloading an entire album = y dollars
In respect to person A:
6x + 2y = 25.92
3x + y = 12.96
y = 12.96 - 3x
In respect to person B:
4x + 3y = 33.93
Putting the value of y from the first equation in the second, we get
4x + 3(12.96 - 3x) = 33.93
4x + 38.88 - 9x = 33.93
- 5x = - 4.95
x = 0.99 dollars
Putting the value of x in the first equation, we get
y = 12.96 - 3x
   = 12.96 - 2.97
   = 9.99 dollars

What is the value of y in the equation 3(3y − 15) = 0? 5 6 7 9
mezya [45]
Y = 5
3(3y - 15) is also equal to 9y - 45, which means to find y, you have to divide 45 by 9, which is 5.

The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 27 less than the least of the integers..
zysi [14]

Answer:  -13, -15

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the smallest integer, then:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = x - 27

3x + 3 = x - 27

2x = -30

x = -15

Integers: -15, -14, -13
