Answer:

24 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, why not let R = number of red marbles.

The first sentence says:

3 * R = (33 and 1/3) % * R + 64

or

3R = 100/3 %*R + 64

3R = (1/3)*R + 64

9R = R + 192

8R = 192

R = 24 red marbles

What is the difference? StartFraction 2 x + 5 Over x squared minus 3 x EndFraction minus StartFraction 3 x + 5 Over x cubed minu

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

<h2> $\frac{(x + 5)(x + 2)}{ {x}^{3} - 9x }$ </h2>

First option is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2x + 5}{ {x}^{2} - 3x } - \frac{3x + 5}{ {x}^{3} - 9x } - \frac{x + 1}{ {x}^{2} - 9 }$

Factor out X from the expression

$\frac{2x + 5}{x(x - 3)} - \frac{3x + 5}{x( {x}^{2} - 9)} - \frac{x + 1}{ {x}^{2} - 9}$

Using ${a}^{2} - {b}^{2} = (a - b)(a + b)$ , factor the expression

$\frac{2x + 5}{x(x - 3)} - \frac{3x + 5}{x(x - 3)(x + 3) } - \frac{x + 1}{(x - 3)(x + 3)}$

Write all numerators above the Least Common Denominators x ( x - 3 ) ( x + 3 )

$\frac{(x + 3) \times (2x - 5) - (3x + 5) - x \times (x + 1)}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}$

Multiply the parentheses

$\frac{2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 6x + 15 - (3x + 5) - x(x + 1)}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}$

When there is a (-) in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression

$\frac{2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 6x + 15 - 3x - 5 - x \times (x + 1)}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}$

Distribute -x through the parentheses

$\frac{2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 6x + 15 - 3x - 5 - {x}^{2} - x }{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}$

Using ${a}^{2} - {b}^{2} = (a + b)(a - b)$ , simplify the product

$\frac{2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 6x + 15 - 3x - 5 - {x}^{2} - x}{x( {x}^{2} - 9)}$

Collect like terms

$\frac{ {x}^{2} + 7x + 15 - 5}{x( {x}^{2} - 9)}$

Subtract the numbers

$\frac{ {x}^{2} + 7x + 10}{ x({x}^{2} - 9)}$

Distribute x through the parentheses

$\frac{ {x}^{2} + 7x + 10}{ {x}^{3} - 9x}$

Write 7x as a sum

$\frac{ {x}^{2} + 5x +2x + 10 }{ {x}^{3} - 9x }$

Factor out X from the expression

$\frac{x(x + 5) + 2x + 10}{ {x}^{3} - 9x}$

Factor out 2 from the expression

$\frac{x( x + 5) + 2(x + 5)}{ {x}^{3} - 9x }$

Factor out x + 5 from the expression

$\frac{(x + 5)(x + 2)}{ {x}^{3} - 9x }$

Hope this helps...

Best regards!!

Richard buys a carton of oranges and measures the weight of 1 orange in the carton Which measure gives the most precise weight?

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

0.8 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Ounces are typically used to measure liquid, so I would discourage choosing the top two. And, hopefully you know by now that an orange does not weigh 8 pounds.

39. State the equation for the line described below.

devlian [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

39). y = $-\frac{7}{8}$ x + 3

40). m = $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

y - $y_{1}$ = m( x - $x_{1}$ )

(- 7, 5)

( - 12, 4)

m = ( 4 - 5 ) / ( - 12 + 7) = 1/5

y - 5 = (1/5)(x + 7) ⇒ y = $\frac{1}{5}$ x + 6.4
