Answer:

7/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-1/5 + 3/8

Hint: | Put the fractions in -1/5 + 3/8 over a common denominator.

Put -1/5 + 3/8 over the common denominator 40. -1/5 + 3/8 = (-8)/40 + (5×3)/40:

(-8)/40 + (5×3)/40

Hint: | Multiply 5 and 3 together.

5×3 = 15:

(-8)/40 + 15/40

Hint: | Subtract the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction.

-8/40 + 15/40 = (-8 + 15)/40:

(-8 + 15)/40

Hint: | Subtract 8 from 15.

-8 + 15 = 7:

Answer:  7/40

The figure shows a circle circumscribed around a triangle. what is constructed first when creating the circle?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Option B is right

Step-by-step explanation:

We have in a triangle there are some properties inherent.

One is the perpendicular bisectors of all sides are concurrent.

These three concur at a point called the circumcentre of the triangle.

When we draw perpendicular bisector for a side AB, we get that all points on the perpendicular bisector are equidistance from A and B.

When we take the point of intersection of perpendicular bisector of AB and BC, we have the intersecting point S(say) is equidistant from A and B and also from B and C

In short this is equidistant from all 3 vertices and hence is centre of circumcicle of triangle ABC

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

third one

Step-by-step explanation:

the third one should be the answer

step 4 came out becoz of taking the common factor(x+1) and combining x2 and (-16)

Step 5 came out becoz of the theory of (a^2-b^2) = (a+b)(a-b)

ps 16 here is equal to 4^2
