1/6p - 4/5
Explanation: -2/3p needs to have the same denominator as 5/6p so they can combine. (Note, whatever sign is in front of a number determines if it is negative or positive. Your equation indicates that the bolded parts are negative and the other parts are positive: -2/3p + 1/5 - 1 + 5/6p. So what we are really doing in an equation like this is combining some numbers together)
-2/3p and 5/6p and the least common multiple of six, so we adjust the numbers to each have a denominator of 6. 5/6p is already there, so we need to adjust -2/3p.
We can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to turn -2/3p into -4/6p. -4/6p has the same value as -2/3p, and now it also has the same denominator as 5/6p!
We then have to combine like terms, therefore combining -4/6p with 5/6p. When adding together fractions, the denominator does not change (this is why both numbers must have the same denominators). So our answer will be _/6p. So we combine -4 with 5, giving us one.
Therefore, -2/3p combined with 5/6p is 1/6p.
Now we have to combine our other set of like terms, 1/5 and -1. We can do this the same way that we combined the other numbers.
1/5 and -1 need the same denominator. This is simple because 1 can easily be figured out with any denominator, as long as the numerator and denominator are the same. This would make 1 = 5/5. But we need it negative, so it would be -5/5.
Now that we have common denominators, we can combine!
1/5 - 5/5
Remember what we said before, the solution will have the same denominator, so all we need to do is (in this case) subtract the numerators.
1 - 5 = 4
So that would be -4/5.
With the like terms combined, we just need to put our two combinations (1/6p and -4/5) together!
Our answer: 1/6p - 4/5
I hope that helps!
Answer:
x-intercept (-3,0)
y-intercept (0,-9)
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercepts can be found by setting y to 0 and solving for x.
y=-3x-9
0=-3x-9
Add 9 on both sides:
9=-3x
Divide both sides by -3:
9/-3=x
-3=x
The x-intercept is (-3,0).
The y-intercepts can be found by setting x to 0 and solving for y.
y=-3x-9
y=-3(0)-9
y=0-9
y=-9
The y-intercept is (0,-9).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of the figure is equal to the area of a triangle plus the area of a parallelogram
<em>Find the area of triangle KLM</em>
we have
--> difference of the x-coordinates points M and K
--> difference of the y-coordinates points L and K
substitute
<em>Find the area of parallelogram JKMN</em>
--> difference of the x-coordinates points N and J
--> difference of the y-coordinates points K and J
substitute
The area of the figure is equal to
Setup
45t = 40t + 60
5t = 60
t = 12
car A = 45 * 12 = 540 mi
car B = 40 * 12 = 480 mi
