3.1 Dividing fractions
To divide fractions, write the divison as multiplication by the reciprocal of the divisor :
a - 3 3 - a a - 3 21 ————— ÷ ————— = ————— • ——————— 7 21 7 (3 - a)
3.2 Rewrite (3-a) as (-1) • (a-3) Canceling Out : 3.3 Cancel out (a-3) which now appears on both sides of the fraction line.
Final result : -3
Answer:
I believe it's D.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 times x
Hope This Helps! Have A Nice Day!!
5/6, its 10/12, so just divide by two to simplify.
Let n = the unknown number
"The product of a number and 4" = 4 * n = 4n
"increased by 16" = + 16
Set it all equal to - 2.
4n + 16 = - 2
Subtract 16 from both sides to get constants on one side and variables on the other.
4n = - 2 - 16
Combine like terms:
4n = - 18
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate variable n.
n = - 18 / 4
= - 4 and 2/4 = - 4 and 1/2
