Answer:

7x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of bags of chips, then

3x is the number of bags of pretzels ← 3 times the number of bags of chips

3x - 2 is the number of bags of nachos ← 2 less than bags of pretzels

total snacks bought = x + 3x + 3x - 2 = 7x - 2

Skew lines a and b represent Donna's and Charlie's paths as they simultaneously walk on the first and second level of a shopping

vlabodo [156]

Answer: They cannot meet because two skew lines do not intersect each other.

Explanation:

Skew lines is a concept used in geometry to define lines that do not intersect each other but are not parallel.

In this case, the lines are not parallel because they lie in different planes, which in turn, do not intersect each other.

Therefore, runing the lnes in different planes and in different directions, they cannot not, in spite of not being parallel, intersect each other, which is called that the lines are skewed.

Donna's and Charlie's paths are an exelent illustration of what skew lines are: since Donna's and Charlie are in different levels, as long as each remains in parallel levels, their paths wiil not meet each other.

Simplify, state all restrictions.

Kipish [7]

The simplified expression is $\frac{1 - x - y}{x + y}$ and the restriction is $y \ne -x$

<h3>How to simplify the expression?</h3>

The expression is given as:

$\frac{x - y}{4x^2 - 8xy + 3y^2} \div \frac{2x + y}{2x - 3y} \times \frac{4x^2 - y^2}{x^2 - y^2} -1$

Express x^2 - y^2 as (x + y)(x - y) and factorize other expressions

$\frac{x - y}{(2x - y)(2x - 3y)} \div \frac{2x + y}{2x - 3y} \times \frac{4x^2 - y^2}{(x - y)(x + y)} -1$

Rewrite the expression as products

$\frac{x - y}{(2x - y)(2x - 3y)} \times \frac{2x - 3y}{2x + y} \times \frac{4x^2 - y^2}{(x - y)(x + y)} -1$

Cancel out the common factors

$\frac{1}{(2x - y)} \times \frac{1}{2x + y} \times \frac{4x^2 - y^2}{(x + y)} -1$

Express 4x^2 - y^2 as (2x - y)(2x + y)

$\frac{1}{(2x - y)} \times \frac{1}{2x + y} \times \frac{(2x - y)(2x + y)}{(x + y)} -1$

Cancel out the common factors

$\frac{1}{x + y} -1$

Take the LCM

$\frac{1 - x - y}{x + y}$

Hence, the simplified expression is $\frac{1 - x - y}{x + y}$ and the restriction is $y \ne -x$
