Answers:

a. £2,090
b. My answer would be less because my total in euros would be divided by a greater number when converting euros to pounds.

Work for part a:

Apartment: 560•3= 1680 euros

Car: 20.16•15= 302.4 euros

1680+302.4=1982.4

1982.4/1.12 = £x/1

1982.4 / 1.12= £1,770

£1,770 + £320 = £2,090 total

Work for part b:
Example:
(instead of 1.12 I put 2 to see what would happen with a greater number)
1982.4 / 2 = 991.2

991.2 is less than 1,770 (the answer I got with 1.12)

Find the perimeter of a field that has length 2/x + 1 and width 5/x^2 -1.

Answer:

D)4x + 6/(x + 1)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A field is basically a rectangle, so to find the perimeter of our field we are using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

$p=2(l+w)$

where

$p$ is the perimeter

$l$ is the length

$w$ is the width

We know from our problem that the field has length 2/x + 1 and width 5/x^2 -1, so $l=\frac{2}{x+1}$ and $w=\frac{5}{x^2-1}$ .

Replacing values:

$p=2(l+w)$

$p=2(\frac{2}{x+1} +\frac{5}{x^2-1})$

Notice that the denominator of the second fraction is a difference of squares, so we can factor it using the formula $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ where $a$ is the first term and $b$ is the second term. We can infer that $a=x^2$ and $b=1^2$ . So, $x^2-1=(x+1)(x-1)$ . Replacing that:
