Answer:

A) -8

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to make the whole equation equal to zero. so rewrite the equation and equal it to zero. Write all numerators above the common denominator

3(b-5)+1-(5b+2) over 3b equal zero

Then remove parentheses

3b-15+1-5b-2 over 3b equals zero

Then collect the like terms

Calculate

-2b-16 over 3b equals zero

Then set the numerator equal to zero

-2b-16=0

Then move constant to the right

-2b=16

Then divide both sides by -2

b=-8

First of all, observe that all fractions exist as long as b is not zero.

Multiply both numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3:

\dfrac{3b-15}{3b}+\dfrac{1}{3b}=\dfrac{5b+2}{3b}

Now all fractions have the same denominator. Under the assumption that b is not zero, multiply both sides by 3b:

3b-15+1=5b+2 \iff 3b-14=5b+2

Subtract 3b from both sides:

-14=2b+2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

-16=2b

Divide both sides by 2:

b=-8

Layana’s house is located at (2 and two-thirds, 7 and one-third) on a map. The store where she works is located at (–1 and one-t
NeTakaya

We have been given that Layana’s house is located at (2\frac{2}{3}, 7\frac{1}{3}) on a map. The store where she works is located at (-1\frac{1}{3}, 7\frac{1}{3}).

We are asked to find the distance from Layana’s home to the store

We will use distance formula to solve our given problem.

Let us convert our given coordinates in improper fractions.

2\frac{2}{3}\Rightarrow \frac{8}{3}

7\frac{1}{3}\Rightarrow \frac{22}{3}

-1\frac{1}{3}\Rightarrow -\frac{4}{3}

Now we will use distance formula to solve our given problem.

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Upon substituting coordinates of our given point in above formula, we will get:

D=\sqrt{(\frac{22}{3}-\frac{22}{3})^2+(\frac{8}{3}-(-\frac{4}{3}))^2}

D=\sqrt{(0)^2+(\frac{8}{3}+\frac{4}{3})^2}

D=\sqrt{0+(\frac{8+4}{3})^2}

D=\sqrt{(\frac{12}{3})^2}

D=\sqrt{(4)^2}

D=4

Therefore, the distance from Layana's home to the store is 4 units and option A is the correct choice.
