Answer:
in short, Yes they are always rational.
here's why...
E.g. suppose 
and 
are fractions, that means that a,b,c,d are all integers, and b and d are not zero. finding the sum the numerator, and denominator would also have to be integers. the denominator of the sum can't be zero since the denominators of the fractions were not zero, and would give 
and since they are bound by addition (sum means addition) they must also be rational since eit would equal a bigger integer than initially had
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -1, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the equation. (It's a difference of squares, so we know the form will be (a-b)(a+b).)
Test this by FOILing it out, if you're unsure. This is something it can be good to memorize!
Set it equal to 0.
Separate the two parenthetical expressions by the Zero Product Property.
Solve for x!
Answer: The number is 40
Step-by-step explanation:
We will set up an equation where 4/5 is being multiply by the number to get 32. we will represent that number by x
4/5 * x = 32 solve for x
4/5x = 32
0.8x = 32
x = 40
32 = 8 x 4 I think that is the answer
