Micah was asked to add the following expressions:
First, he combined like terms in the numerator and kept the common denominator
First step is correct. He added the like terms in the numerator, because the denominators are same.
So he got , 
In the next step, he cannot cancel out x^2 from the top and bottom . Because x-4 and 3x+2 are added with x^2
If we have x^2 is multiplied with other terms at the top and bottom , then we can cancel out x^2.
So Micah added the expression incorrectly. Final answer is not correct.
Answer:
postive 12
Step-by-step explanation:
16-4=12
Answer:
The roots are;
x = (2 + i)/5 or (2-i)/5
where the term i is the complex number representing the square root of -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to use the completing the square method to solve the quadratic equation;
f(x) = -5x^2 + 4x -1
Set the function to zero
0 = -5x^2 + 4x - 1
So;
-5x^2 + 4x = 1
divide through by the coefficient of x which is -5
x^2 - 4/5x = -1/5
We now take half of the coefficient of x and square it
= -2/5^2 = 4/25
add it to both sides
x^2 - 4x/5 + 4/25= -1/5 + 4/25
(x- 2/5)^2 = -1/5 + 4/25
(x - 2/5)^2 = -1/25
Take the square root of both sides
x - 2/5 = √( -1/25
x - 2/5 = +i/5 or -i/5
x = 2/5 + i/5 or 2/5 - i/5
-10x -120-11x
combine like terms so -10-11= -21x-120
The sporting goods store receives the shipment of 124 golf bags in total.
Let us assume that the number of full-sized bags = X
Then the number of collapsible golf bags = 124 - X
Cost of each full sized bags = $38.50
Cost of each collapsible bags = $22.50
Total cost of the 124 bags received by the sporting goods store = $3430
Then
(38.50)X + (124 - X)22.50 = 3430
(38.50X - 22.50X) + 2790 = 3430
16X = 3430 - 2790
16X = 640
X = 640/16
= 40
So the number of full-sized golf bags received = 40
Then the number of collapsible golf bags received = 124 - 40
= 84
