The LCD here is 20. Thus, 1/4 = 5/20. The sum of 5/20 and 13/20 is 18/20, which can be reduced to 9/10.
Answer:
- leading coefficient: 2
- degree: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of a term with one variable is the exponent of the variable. The degrees of the terms (in the same order) are ...
6, 0, 7, 1
The highest-degree term is 2x^7. Its coefficient is the "leading" coefficient, because it appears first when the polynomial terms are written in decreasing order of their degree:
2x^7 -7x^6 -18x -4
The leading coefficient is 2; the degree is 7.

<em>Additional comment</em>
When a term has more than one variable, its degree is the sum of the exponents of the variables. The term xy, for example, is degree 2.
Your answer will be 13,331 because you add up all the asset and subtract all the liabilities
Answer:
<em>Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
For a quadratic equation:

The sum of the roots is -b and the product is c. Note the leading coefficient is 1.
We know the perimeter of the rectangular metal plate is 36 dm and its area is 80 dm^2. Being L and W its dimensions, then:
P=2(L+W)=36
A=L.W=80
Note both formulas are closely related to the roots of the quadratic equation, we only need to adjust the data for the perimeter to be exactly the sum of L+W and not double of it.
Thus we use the semi perimeter instead as P/2=L+W=18
The quadratic equation is, then:

Factoring by finding two numbers that add up to 18 and have a product of 80:

The solutions to the equation are:
x=10, x=8
Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.
