Notice that x+4 is one of the denominators, and that x(x+4) is the LCD.
x
Thus, mult. ------- by x(x+4), obtaining x^2.
x+4
Next, mult. [ 1/x + 1/(x+4) by x(x+4), obtaining x+4 + x = 2x+4 or 2(x+4)
x^2
Then the simplified fraction becomes ----------
2(x+4)
Generally Brainly allows you to post only 1 or 2 questions at a time. I will do #15 as a courtesy to you, but want you to try #16 yourself (or to post it separately).
-4, 2, 8, 14, ... is an arithm. seq. Every new term is equal to the previous term, plus 6: -4+6 = 2; 2+6=8, and so on. Thus: first term is a = -4; common difference is d = 6
a(50) = a(1) + (50-1)(6), or a(50) = -4 + (49)(6) = 290 (answer)
Since there is no decimal point, the answer is 345276.
K:P=2:5
P+75 it is 4:15
at first, P=5 units
so we have
2:5 and 4:15
since the K units didn't change we conver them to the same
2:5 times 2:2=4:10
so from 4:10 to 4:15 is a change of 75 in the right side
therefor 75=5 units so 75/5=15/1= 1 unit
so at first K=4 units=4 times 1 unit=4 times 15=60
P=10 units so 10 times 15=150
at first
Karen=60
Patricia=150
True, because 4.2 is a lot lower than 55.3, 73.4, 89.3, and 132.2.
