3 oranges / 4 friends = 3/4 orange for each of them, or 0.75 orange each

(You can check the answer by saying, if each of them get 3/4 of an orange, then multiplying that by the 4 friends should give me the 3 oranges. 3/4 x 4 = 3, so it's correct).

Find the value of x.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

21.6 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees

71 + x + (4x-11) = 180

open the brackets

71 + x +4x - 1 = 180

71 + 1 + x + 4x =180

72 + 5x =180

5x = 180 -72

5x = 108

x = 108/5 = 21.6

Express the product of (1/5x + 1) and (1/6x + 5/4) as a trinomial in simplest form

Greeley [361]

$(\frac{1}{5}x+1)(\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{5}{4})$

Use distributive property to remove the parentheses:

$(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd$ $\begin{gathered} =\frac{1}{5}x*\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{1}{5}x*\frac{5}{4}+1*\frac{1}{6}x+1*\frac{5}{4} \\ \\ Multiplication\text{ }of\text{ }fractions: \\ \frac{a}{b}*\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a*c}{b*d} \\ \\ =\frac{1}{30}x^2+\frac{5}{20}x+\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{5}{4} \\ \\ =\frac{1}{30}x^2+\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{5}{4} \\ \\ Addition\text{ }of\text{ }fractions: \\ \frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad+bc}{bd} \\ \\ =\frac{1}{30}x^2+(\frac{6x+4x}{24})+\frac{5}{4} \\ \\ =\frac{1}{30}x^2+\frac{10}{24}x+\frac{5}{4} \\ \\ Simplify: \\ =\frac{1}{30}x^2+\frac{5}{12}x+\frac{5}{4} \end{gathered}$ Then, the product in the simplest form is: $\frac{1}{30}x^2+\frac{5}{12}x+\frac{5}{4}$
