Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve for this equation we have to note a couple of things.
There is a diagonal square inside a larger square. The space formed by the smaller square not being in the larger square is a right triangle.
The side length of the smaller square (4) is also the hypotenuse of this triangle.
Since we know that the other side length of the triangle is 3, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of b.
The Pythagorean Theorem states that , where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.
We can substitute 3 in as a and 4 in as c and find b.
So b is units long.

<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>
Why? Because the denominators are both the same at 2x+8. We can only add or subtract fractions when the denominators are the same. The general rule for adding fractions is
We have numerators A and B added together over a common denominator C. If we didn't have a common denominator, then we'd have to do a bit of algebraic manipulation to get both fractions to a common denominator. It doesn't have to be the lowest common denominator (LCD), though it's often more efficient that way.
