Complete the square for x and y.
7x^2 + 3y^2 - 28x - 12y = -19
7x^2 - 28x + 3y^2 - 12y = -19
7(x^2 - 4x) + 3(y^2 - 4y) = -19
7(x^2 - 4x + 4) + 3(y^2 - 4y + 4) = -19 + 28 + 12
7(x - 2)^2 + 3(y - 2)^2 = 21
Answer:
Solve it
Step-by-step explanation:
When you're asked to simplify an expression it means to solve it.
Answer:
The red segment is from 1/4 to 3/4.
3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4
2/4 = 1/2
1/2
This answer can also be found by seeing there are four equal boxes making up the one larger box, since two out of the four boxes are filled then the fraction would be 2/4, which simplifies to 1/2
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
m∠J and m∠Kare base angles of an isosceles trapezoid JKLM.
If m∠J = 18x + 8, and m∠M = 11x + 15 , find m∠K.
A. 1
B. 154
C. 77
D. 26
Answer: B. m∠K = 154
Step-by-step explanation: <u>Isosceles</u> <u>trapezoid</u> is a parallelogram with two parallel sides, called Base, and two non-parallel sides that have the same measure.
Related to internal angles, angles of the base are equal and opposite angles are supplementary.
In trapezoid JKLM, m∠J and m∠M are base angles, so they are equal:
18x + 8 = 11x + 15
7x = 7
x = 1
Now, m∠K is opposite so, they are supplementary, which means their sum results in 180°:
m∠J = 18(1) + 8
m∠J = 26
m∠K + m∠J = 180
m∠K + 26 = 180
m∠K = 154
The angle m∠K is 154°
Answer: 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the fractions that we are comparing in this problem have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators, they are called unlike fractions.
To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 5 will be the least common multiple of 3 and 5 or 15.
To get a 15 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 which gives us 5/15.
To get a 15 in the denominator of 3/5, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 9/15.
Notice that we now have like fractions since both fractions have a 15 in the denominator.
To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators.
9/15 - 5/15
Since 9 is greater than 5, 9/15 is greater than 5/15.
This means that 3/5 is bigger than 1/3.
