Answer:

Step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given work on simplification

(6 and one-half + 2 and three-fourths) minus 1.5 times (4.5 divided by 0.5)

(6 1/2 + 2 3/4) - 1.5 (4.5 ÷ 0.5)

Step 1 9 and one-fourth minus 1.5 times (4.5 divided by 0.5)

9 1/4 - 1.5 (4.5 ÷ 0.5)
This is ok as first step is solving parenthesis

Step 2 7.75 times (4.5 divided by 0.5)

7.75 (4.5 ÷ 0.5)
Incorrect, subtraction should be the last step

Answer: second step.

Step-by-step explanation:

you then have to distribute the answer not subtract 9 1/4 from 1.5

you have to do the parenthesis next

4.5/0.5=45/5=9

then

1.5*9= 13.5

then

9.25-13.5 which I think you are capable of solving

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{x+2}{x^2-6x-16}\div\dfrac{1}{9x}=\dfrac{9x}{x-8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x+2}{x^2-6x-16}\div\dfrac{1}{9x}=\dfrac{x+2}{x^2+2x-8x-16}\cdot\dfrac{9x}{1}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(9x)}{x(x+2)-8(x+2)}=\dfrac{(x+2)(9x)}{(x+2)(x-8)}\\\\\text{cancel}\ (x+2)\\\\=\dfrac{9x}{x-8}$

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the other answers share at least one factor they can be divided by (the numerator in all cases). 5/12 however shares no factors and cannot be simplified anymore.

B 5 3 a 4 What is the length of the hypotenuse of this triangle? 3 units 5 units 4 units

Lunna [17]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is always the longest segment on a triangle. If the lengths of the sides of this triangle are 3 units, 4 units, and 5 units, the hypotenuse will be 5 units. You can use the pythagorean theorem to check.

a^2+b^2=c^2

If you substitute the variable with the lengths of the legs in ascending order, you will get 3^2+4^2=5^2. Simplifying the equation, you will get 9+16=25, or 25=25. Thus, proving the equation.

Hope this helped! :)
