Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
utilise the Foil method to expand brackets:
F - mulply the first terms (x and x)
O - multiply the outside terms ( x and -2)
I - multiply the inside terms (5 and x)
L - multiply the last terms (5 and -2)
Then add them as following:
Then combine like terms:
Answer:
Step-by-steplanation:
Add: 1
2
+ 2
5
= 1 · 5
2 · 5
+ 2 · 2
5 · 2
= 5
10
+ 4
10
= 5 + 4
10
= 9

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(2, 5) = 10. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 2 × 5 = 10. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.
In words - one half plus two fifths = nine tenths.
Conversion a mixed number 6 2
7
to a improper fraction: 6 2/7 = 6 2
7
= 6 · 7 + 2
7
= 42 + 2
7
= 44
7
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 6 by the denominator 7. Whole number 6 equally 6 * 7
7
= 42
7
b) Add the answer from previous step 42 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 42 + 2 = 44
c) Write previous answer (new numerator 44) over the denominator 7.
Six and two sevenths is forty-four sevenths
Add: the result of step No. 1 + 44
7
= 9
10
+ 44
7
= 9 · 7
10 · 7
+ 44 · 10
7 · 10
= 63
70
+ 440
70
= 63 + 440
70
= 503

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(10, 7) = 70. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 10 × 7 = 70. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.
In words - nine tenths plus forty-four sevenths = five hundred three seventieths.
Answer:
1) take the first part of the equation and work it by multiplying (x+2) by 3
3(x+2)+x
3x +6+x
2)put the answer you got into the question you were given
3x + 6+x =2x +16
3)group the x variables and the non x variables
3x +x -2x =16 -6
4) Now work the equation you have
3x+x-2x=16-6
4x-2x=16-6
2x=16-6
2x=10
5) you divide both sides by the x variable
2x=10
2x/2 =10/2
x=5
therefore x is 5
There are two triangles, a big triangle and a small triangle that is inside the big triangle. Because the base of the triangles are parallel to each other( indicated by the arrow), and the small triangle is perfectly inside the bigger triangle, the sides of the triangles are proportional.
It is know that the base of the small triangle is 3.5, and the hypotenuse of the small triangle is 7cm. it is also known that the the hypotenuse of the big triangle is (7+8)=15 and the base of the big triangle is unknown.
Since the triangles are proportional,
to find the base of the big triangle
base(big)/hypotenuse(big)=base(small)/hypotenuse(small)
Plug in the numbers
x/15=3.5/7
x/15=1/2
x=15/2
x=7.5
The length of the base of the big triangle is 7.5cm
