Answer:

here,

money spent in 1st year =$250

money spent in 2nd year=$295

total inflated amount=$295- $250

=$45

Then,

inflation rate= ($45/ $250)×100%

=18%

What is a solution to the equation 3 / m + 3 - M / 3 - M equals m^2 + 9 / m^2-9?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

$\frac{3}{m+3}-\frac{m}{3-m}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}$

Follow these steps to solve it:

- Subtract the fractions on the left side of the equation:

$\frac{3(3-m)-m(m+3)}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}\\\\\frac{9-3m-m^2-3m}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}\\\\\frac{-m^2-6m+9}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}$

- Using the Difference of squares formula ( $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ ) we can simplify the denominator of the right side of the equation:

$\frac{-m^2-6m+9}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{(m+3)(m-3)}$

- Multiply both sides of the equation by $(m+3)(3-m)$ and simplify:

$\frac{(-m^2-6m+9)(m+3)(3-m)}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{(m^2+9)(m+3)(3-m)}{(m+3)(m-3)}\\\\-m^2-6m+9=\frac{(m^2+9)(3-m)}{(m-3)}$

- Multiply both sides by $m-3$ :

$(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=\frac{(m^2+9)(3-m)(m-3)}{(m-3)}\\\\(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=(m^2+9)(3-m)$

- Apply Distributive property and simplify:

$(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=(m^2+9)(3-m)\\\\-m^3-6m^2+9m+3m^2+18m-27=3m^2+27-m^3-9m\\\\-m^3-3m^2+27m-27+m^3-3m^2+9m-27=0\\\\-6m^2+36m-54=0$

- Divide both sides of the equation by -6:

$\frac{-6m^2+36m-54}{-6}=\frac{0}{-6}\\\\m^2-6m+9=0$

- Factor the equation and solve for "m":

$(m-3)^2=0\\\\m=3$

In order to verify it, you must substitute $m=3$ into the equation and solve it:

$\frac{3}{3+3}-\frac{3}{3-3}=\frac{3^2+9}{3^2-9}\\\\\frac{3}{6}-\frac{3}{0}=\frac{18}{0}$

Megan uses a pedometer to find how many steps she takes each day. She took 32,410 steps over the course of 5 days. She took the

Kruka [31]

Megan walked about 3 miles on Monday because if you divide 32,410 by 5 you receive 6,482 then, you would find out how many inches are in a mile which is 63,360 in one mile. After, you would multiply 6,482 by 63,360 and you would receive 410,699,520 but you would divide 410,699,520 by 63360 because there is that many inches in a mile and recieve 2.86 and other numbers so you round up and it is 3 miles sorry if I confuse you I can't explain well. But it is 3 miles

I need help please will give brainliest

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

1.) True, because it says three times so you know the x belongs there. Also, you have to follow the order of what the problem says.

2.) False, because it is not in the order of how the problem states it.

3.) False, because if you transfer the fraction to a decimal you get 4.333333. It's not valid.

4.) True, because if you do 7 × 3, it equals to 21. So, 21 - 17 = 4. And Jenny is supposed to have 4 quilts.

Hope it helps! :D
