Answer:

Q2 2010

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of quarters = x

Samsung increases by 6 each quarter.

Apple decreases by 1 each quarter.

Samsung

L = a + (x - 1)*6

a = 1

L = 1 + (x - 1)*6

Apple

L = a - (x - 1)*1

a = 53

L = 53 - (x - 1)*1

Now the problem is how many quarters go by until they meet?

1 + (x - 1)*6 = 53 - (x - 1) Remove the brackets

1 + 6x - 6 = 53 - x + 1 Combine like terms on both sides.

-5 + 6x = 54 - x Add 5 to both sides

6x = 59 - x Add x to both sides

7x = 59

x = 59/7 = 8 3/7

So sometime in the 8th quarter from zero they will be equal. At the end of the quarter, Samsung will be greater than Apple

So the answer should be 4 quarters from Q2 2009 or Q2 2010

Answer with the explanation step by step

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The answer is A. $\frac{3(x-21)}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference of this problem, start by simplifying the denominator, which will look like $\frac{3}{x+7}-\frac{42}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ . Next, multiply $\frac{3}{x+7}$ by $\frac{x-7}{x-7}$ to create a fraction with a common denominator in order to subtract from $\frac{42}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ . The problem will now look like $\frac{3}{x+7}*\frac{x-7}{x-7}-\frac{42}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ .

Then, simplify the terms in the problem by first multiplying $\frac{3}{x+7}$ and $\frac{x-7}{x-7}$ , which will look like $\frac{3(x-7)}{(x+7)(x-7)}-\frac{42}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ . The next step is to combine the numerators over the common denominator, which will look like $\frac{3(x-7)-42}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ .

Next, simplify the numerator, and to simplify the numerator start by factoring 3 out of $3(x-7)-42$ , which will look like $\frac{3(x-7-14)}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ . Then, subtract 14 from -7, which will look like $\frac{3(x-21)}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ . The final answer will be $\frac{3(x-21)}{(x+7)(x-7)}$ .
