Answer:
p = 2
n = 14
m = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to be able combine (either add or subtract) rational expressions we need to write them with a common (similar) denominator. For that reason we first find the Least Common Denominator of both fractions, that way understanding how to express the two fractions using equivalent fractions with like denominator that can be combined.
We see that the denominator of the first fraction contains the factor "x", therefore "x" has to be a factor of that least common denominator.
We also see that the second fraction contains "2" as a factor, therefore 2 has to be a factor as well for our Least Common Denominator (LCD)
So the LCD we need is the product: 2*x which we write as 2x.
Now we write the first fraction as an equivalent one but with denominator "2x" by multiplying top and bottom by 2 (and thus not changing the actual value of the fraction): 
Next we do the same with the second fraction, this time multiplying top and bottom by the factor "x":

Now that both fractions are written showing the same denominator , we can combine them as indicated:

This expression gives as then the values for the requested coefficients.
p = 2
n = 14
m = 3
Answer: (C) the number of groups
Step-by-step explanation: It cannot be the total because the total is 18, the size of the groups does not make sense because it seems that you are trying to find a total, and the difference makes no sense because this does not seem like a subtraction problem. (C) the number of groups makes sense because their is a total number of groups.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
The answer is 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor between the figures is 2/3, this means that the ratio of the smaller figure to the larger figure is 2/3:
.
So when a side of the the larger figure is 12 then:

Therefore
.
Thus the length of the corresponding smaller side is 8.
