Answer:

$\frac{2*x - 2}{2*x} - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x} = \frac{x - 6}{4*x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression:

$\frac{2*x - 2}{2*x} - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x}$

The first thing we want to do, is to have the same denominator in both equations, then we need to multiply the first term by (2/2), so the denominator becomes 4*x

We will get:

$(\frac{2}{2} )\frac{2*x - 2}{2*x} - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x} = \frac{4*x - 4}{4*x} - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x}$

Now we can directly add the terms to get:

$\frac{4*x - 4}{4*x} - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x} = \frac{4*x - 4 - 3*x - 2}{4*x} = \frac{x - 6}{4*x}$

We can't simplify this anymore

A restaurant offers three sizes of coffee and four differerſt types of coffee.

Kruka [31]

<h3>Answer: 864</h3>

=======================================================

Work Shown:

There are,

3 sizes of coffee
4 types of coffee
2 choices for cream (you pick it or you leave it out)
2 choices for sugar (same idea as the cream)

This means there are 3*4*2*2 = 12*4 = 48 different coffees. We'll use this value later, so let A = 48.

There are 6 bagel options. Also, there are 3 choices in terms of if you order the bagel plain, with butter, or with cream cheese. This leads to 6*3 = 18 different ways to order a bagel. Let B = 18.

Multiply the values of A and B to get the final answer

A*B = 48*18 = 864

There are 864 ways to order a coffee and bagel at this restaurant.

--------------

If you're curious why you multiply the values out, consider this smaller example.

Let's say you had 3 choices of coffee and 2 choices for a bagel. Form a table with 3 rows and 2 columns. Place the different coffee choices along the left to form each row. Along the top, we'll have the two different bagel choices (one for each column).

This 3 by 2 table leads to 3*2 = 6 individual table cells inside. Each cell in the table represents a coffee+bagel combo. This idea is applied to the section above, but we have a lot more options.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you gotta work out the hypotenuse of ABC, which is AC.

To do that, you need to figure out the scale factor between the two right-angled triangles. You can do that for this question because this is a similar shapes question.

12.5/5 = 2.5

The scale factor length between the two triangles is 2.5.

You can use 2.5 now to work out AC, so AC would be 13 x 2.5, which gives 32.5.

Now that you've got the hypotenuse and BC of ABC, you can use Pythagoras's theorem to work out the length of AB

Pythagoras's theorem = $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
