Answer:
3ab
-------------------
(b+a)
Step-by-step explanation:
3/a - 3/b
-------------------
1/a^2 - 1/b^2
Multiply the top and bottom by a^2 b^2/ a^2/b^2 to clear the fractions
(3/a - 3/b) a^2 b^2
-------------------
(1/a^2 - 1/b^2) a^2b^2
3ab^2 - 3 a^2 b
-------------------
b^2 - a^2
Factor out 3ab on the top
3ab( b-a)
-------------------
b^2 - a^2
The bottom is the difference of squares
3ab( b-a)
-------------------
(b-a) (b+a)
Cancel like terms from the top and bottom
3ab
-------------------
(b+a)
Answer:
Maria needs 3 lengths of gutter of finish the shed.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular shed to know how much 5 feet gutter is needed.
The perimeter of the shed is p = 2(l + b) where l = 10ft and b = 9 ft
p = 2(10 + 9) = 2(19) = 38 ft
Now, the perimeter of the shed also equal 23 ft of gutter already installed plus 5x ft gutter where x = number of gutters.
So 23 + 5x = 38
collecting like terms, we have
5x = 38 - 23
5x = 15
dividing through by 5 we have
5x/5 = 15/5
x = 15/5
x = 3
So, Maria needs 3 lengths of gutter of finish the shed.
The answer is 10000 because you need to flip it
No 6/12 is equal to 12/24
here is a contradiction because in one inequality x can be equal to 15 ; and in the other it cannot
