The denominator of the first term is a difference of squares, such that

4<em>a</em> ² - <em>b</em> ² = (2<em>a</em>)² - <em>b</em> ² = (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)

So you can write the fractions as

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²)/((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)/(2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)

Multiply through the second fraction by 2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em> to get a common denominator:

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²)/((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)²/((2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>))

((4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)²) / ((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>))

Expand the numerator:

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)²

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) - (4<em>a</em> ² - 4<em>ab</em> + <em>b</em> ²)

4<em>ab</em>

<em />

So the original expression reduces to

4<em>ab</em> / ((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>))

or

4<em>ab</em> / (4<em>a</em> ² - <em>b</em> ²)

upon condensing the denominator again.

Answer:

x is 72 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the measure of x, you need to know the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon.

Sum = (n - 2) x 180

Sum = (5 - 2) x 180

Sum = 3 x 180

Sum = 540

Now divide this by 5, the number of sides

540/5 = 108 degrees for each angle of the pentagon.

To find the measure of x, look at the opposite angle, which is 108 degrees

180 - 108 = 72

The measure of angle x is 72 degrees.

The number of rectangular prism container that would be set on the shelf is: 4.

<h3>What is the Volume of a Rectangular Prism?</h3>

Volume of rectangular prism = length × width ×height

Given the following:

  • Volume of three containers = 135 in.³
  • Volume of each rectangular prism container = 135/3 = 45 in.³
  • One face = width × height = 4.5 × 2 = 9 in.

Find the length of one rectangular prism using the volume formula since volume for one prism = 45 in.³

45 = length × 9

length = 5 in.

Each rectangular prism container is 5 in. long, therefore, the number of the containers that can be set on the shelf that is 24 in. long, if the 4.5 in by 2 in. face touches each other = 24/5 = 4.8.

The fifth container won't fit in. Therefore, the number of rectangular prism container that would be set on the shelf is: 4.

HELP When 2((Three-fifths x + 2 and three-fourths y minus one-fourth x minus 1 and one-half y + 3)) is simplified, what is the r
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

<h2> StartFraction 7 over 10 EndFraction x + 2 and one-half y + 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 2(\frac{3x}{5}+2\frac{3y}{4}-\frac{x}{4}-1 \frac{1}{2}y+3)

To simplify the expression, we need to first collect the like terms of the functions in parentheses as shown;

= 2(\frac{3x}{5}-\frac{x}{4}-1 \frac{1}{2}y+2\frac{3}{4}y+3)\\= 2(\frac{3x}{5}-\frac{x}{4}- \frac{3}{2}y+\frac{11}{4}y+3)\\

Then we find the LCM of the resulting function

= 2(\frac{3x}{5}-\frac{x}{4}- \frac{3}{2}y+\frac{11}{4}y+3)\\= 2(\frac{12x-5x}{20} - (\frac{6y-11y}{4})+3)\\= 2(\frac{7x}{20}- (\frac{-5y}{4})+3 )\\= 2(\frac{7x}{20}+ \frac{5y}{4}+3 )\\= \frac{7x}{10} + \frac{5y}{2} +6\\=  \frac{7x}{10} + 2\frac{1}{2}y+6\\

The final expression gives the required answer
