Work out the top subtraction first:
3/9 - 8/12
= 1/3 - 2/3
= 1/3
and the bottom part:-
3/8 * 2 = 6/8 = 3/4
so now we divide -1/3 by 3/4
= -1/3 * 4/3 = -4/9
Answer:
- (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2)
- (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4)
- 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
I find it takes less work if I can eliminate obviously wrong answers. Toward that end, we can consider the constant terms only:
- -3 +(-2) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
- -10 -5 = -15 . . . . NOT equivalent
- 3(-5) -2(5) = -25 . . . . NOT equivalent
- -9 -(-4) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
- -7 -(-5) = -2 . . . . NOT equivalent
- 2(-1) -3(1) = -5 . . possible equivalent
Now, we can go back and check the other terms in the candidate expressions we have identified.
1. (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2) = (-16+4)x² +(10-29)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
4. (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4) = (2-14)x² +(-11-8)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
6. 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1) = -12x² +(2 -3·7)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
All three of the "possible equivalent" expressions we identified on the first pass are fully equivalent to the target expression. These are your answer choices.
C. $135, 1/4 of 60 is 15 and add that on top of 60x2
Answer:
1. Adjacent 2. Vertical 3. Vertical 4. Neither 5. Adjacent
Step-by-step explanation:
X=-15 because you have to add 3 on both sides
