Equation at the end of step
4
:
(4a + 9) 1
————————————————— - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a + 3
Pull out like factors :
3a + 12 = 3 • (a + 4)

6
:
3 • (a + 4)
————————————————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3)
3•(a+4)
——————————— • (a+3)•(a-3) = 0 • (a+3)•(a-3)
(a+3)•(a-3)
a+4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
a = -4
Answer: 2/3 (two thirds)
Explanation: Divide both denominator and numerator by the common factor of fourteen
10^-8 would be .000000001 I believe lightning would be the correct answer because .00000001 is bigger than 10^-8 hope this is correct
Answer:
Third option: 12x^2+8x+25
Step-by-step explanation:
s1=8x^2
s2=4x^2+15
s3=8x+10
Total perimeter of the pool edge: P
P=s1+s2+s3
Replacing s1, s2 and s3 in the formula above:
P=(8x^2)+(4x^2+15)+(8x+10)
P=8x^2+4x^2+15+8x+10
Adding like terms:
P=12x^2+8x+25
