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

I am on my trigonometry unit in math and don’t know what to do for this. I also really need work shown!
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The flight was 137.45 miles farther than the direct path.

(make slight changes if directions were given on how to round. This is to the nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Law of Cosines.

c^2=

a^2+b^2-2abcosC

You know two sides and the angle in between. The Law of Cosines will give us the third side.

The third side is the direct path of the airplane. We'll add the two other given sides to find the detour route that they took instead.

Then subtract the smaller number (direct route) from the actual route. See image.

Write as an ordered pair. 4x+2y=16 and -4y+x=4
Margaret [11]

Answer:

(4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2y=16

-4y+x=4

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(4x+2y)=16*2

8x +4y = 32

Add the 2nd equation

8x +4y = 32

x  -4y     =4

--------------------

9x            =36

Divide each side by 9

9x/9 = 36/9

x=4

Now solve for y

-4y +x =4

-4y +4 = 4

Subtract 4 from each side

-4y +4-4=4-4

-4y =0

Divide by -4

-4y/-4 =0/-4

y=0

(4,0)

Plz help me with this
forsale [732]

Answer:

\frac{31x}{30}

Step-by-step explanation:

Before adding we require the fractions to have a common denominator

The lowest common denominator of 2, 5 and 3 is 30, thus

\frac{15x}{15(2)} + \frac{6x}{6(5)} + \frac{10x}{10(3)}

= \frac{15x}{30} + \frac{6x}{30} + \frac{10x}{30}

Add the numerators leaving the denominator

= \frac{15x+6x+10x}{30} = \frac{31x}{30}
