Answer:

LCD of 7 and 5 is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

In many cases, you can find the lowest common denominator by simply multiplying the two numbers together. This method works in your example.

7 x 5 = 35

The two fractions would become 15/35 and 28/35

There will be times when this will not get you straight to the answer, eg find the lowest common denominator of 8 and 12. For this you need to list some multiples of the numbers until you get a number which appears in both lists:

8: 8, 16, 24

12: 12, 24

So, the lowest common denominator of 8 and 12 is 24.

The terms in a sequence are given by 3 + 2x. what are the first 6 terms in the sequence?​
enyata [817]

First 6 terms are 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given terms in the sequence = 3 + 2x. Find the first 6 terms.

a(1) = 3 + 2 × 1 = 3 + 2 = 5

a(2) = 3 + 2 × 2 = 3 + 4 = 7

a(3) = 3 + 2 × 3 = 3 + 6 = 9

a(4) = 3 + 2 × 4 = 3 + 8 = 11

a(5) = 3 + 2 × 5 = 3 + 10 = 13

a(6) = 3 + 2 × 6 = 3 + 12 = 15

Gabriellas school is selling tickets to a fall musical. On the dirst day of ticket sales the school sold 10 senior citizen ticke
Tanya [424]
A senior ticket costs $10, while a student ticket costs $8. You can solve this system of equations by the elimination method.

We can use x as the variable for the senior tickets, and y as the variable for the student tickets and represent it with these equations:
10x+12y=212 and 12x+14y=232

Next, multiply each entire equation by a variable so they can eliminate each other. I used 12 and -10 here so it would be 120x-120x to eliminate that variable.
12(10x+14y=212) and -10(12x+14y=232)

Our new equations are:
(120x +168y= 2544) and (-120x-140y=-2320)

You can then subtract one of the equations from the other leaving you with 28y=224 and solve it for y to get 8.
So the price of a student ticket is 8.

Pick any of the original equations and by replacing y with 8, you can solve to find x. (X is the variable we assigned for senior tickets)
10x+14(8)=212
10x+112=212
10x=212-112
10x= 100
1x=10

Evaluate the function for the given value: f(x)=2x (to the power of 2) -5x-17, find f(-3)
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

f(-3) = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

You substitute -3 to x.

f(-3) = 2(-3)² - 5(-3) - 17

f(-3) = 16.

As for the coordinates, the coordinates plotted in the graph above are (1,-1) and (2,-2).
