Answer:

24/40

Step-by-step explanation:

You can multiply both the numerator and denominator by any number

Option #3: Lets multiply by 1/2 since when you multiply 6*1/2 it equals 3 and that is the same numerator as option #3 and so now let's do the same again to the denominator 10*1/2 equals 5 and that is NOT equal to 6 in the denominator for option #3 and you can't get 3 any other way than multiplying by 1/2 (same as *.5) and so it is wrong.

Now since we know how to do it I'll just do the math for the rest.

Option 1:

6/10

6*2/10*2

12/20 and that doesn't match so it's wrong.

Option 2:

6/10

6*4/10*4

24/40

It matches so it's correct let's try option 4 just to check.

Option 4:

6/10

6*2/10*2

12/20

that doesn't match so it's wrong (you could have tried multiplying by decimals by I doubt you are there to that kind of math yet.)

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to a3 + b3?

lubasha [3.4K]

ANSWER
${a}^{3} + {b}^{3} = (a + b)( {a}^{2 } - ab + {b}^{2} )$

EXPLANATION

To find the expression that is equivalent to
${a}^{3} + {b}^{3}$
we must first expand
${(a + b)}^{3}$
Then we rearrange to find the required expression.

So let's get started.

${(a + b)}^{3} = (a + b) {(a + b)}^{2}$

We expand the parenthesis on the right hand side to get,

${(a + b)}^{3} = (a + b) ( {a}^{2} + 2ab + {b}^{2} )$

We expand again to obtain,

${(a + b)}^{3} = {a}^{3} + 3 {a}^{2}b + 3a {b}^{2} + {b}^{3}$

Let us group the cubed terms on the right hand side to get,

${(a + b)}^{3} = {a}^{3} + {b}^{3} + 3 {a}^{2}b + 3a {b}^{2}$

${(a + b)}^{3} = {a}^{3} + {b}^{3} + 3ab (a+ b)$

We make the cubed terms the subject,

${(a + b)}^{3} - 3ab (a+ b) = {a}^{3} + {b}^{3}$

We factor to get,

$(a + b)({(a + b)}^{2} - 3ab ) = {a}^{3} + {b}^{3}$

We expand the bracket on the left hand side to get,

$(a + b)( {a}^{2} + 2ab + {b}^{2} - 3ab ) = {a}^{3} + {b}^{3}$

We finally simplify to get,

$(a + b)( {a}^{2} - ab + {b}^{2} ) = {a}^{3} + {b}^{3}$

How do you work out (7x+3)(7x-3)

spin [16.1K]

We can solve this using the FOIL method.

= (7x + 3)(7x - 3)

= (7x * 7x) + (7x * -3) + (3 * 7x) + (3 * -3)

= 49x - 21x + 21x - 9

= 49x - 9

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

What's the correct answer

ratelena [41]

The answer is A, the equation shows a proportional relationship because the graph shows a straight line. However, it is not DIRECTLY proportional as it does not pass through the origin.
