Five times the difference of a number and 3 is 15

Kaynard's first step in solving this rational equation is to simplify it by multiplying both sides by a common denominator. Whic

bulgar [2K]

x^2 - 9 = (x + 3)(x -3)

3x - 9 = 3(x - 3)

and

6

Common denominator would be 6(x+3)(x - 3)

Answer: 6(x+3)(x - 3)

In a small town, there are 4 times as many left-handed males as there are left-handed females, and there are 3 times as many rig

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

(b) 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The given variable definitions and the given relationships let us write these statements:

LH males = 4 × LH females = 4x

RH females = 3 × RH males = 3y

LH males + RH males = 204 = 4x +y

RH females + LH females = 348 = 3y +x

Your favorite method of solving equations of this sort can tell you ...

(x, y) = (24, 108)

There are 24 left-handed females.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Other numbers involved here are ...

y = 108 . . . . right-handed males

204-108 = 96 . . . . left-handed males (=4×24)

348-24 = 324 . . . . right-handed females (=3×108)

__

If you want to solve the equations by hand, you can use substitution for y to get an equation in x:

3(204 -4x) +x = 348 ⇒ -11x = -264 ⇒ x = 24

As an unenrolled tax preparer, Daryl is subject to:

-BARSIC- [3]

I think there are missing details in this question. I'll just discuss what an unenrolled tax preparer is.

Unenrolled Tax Preparers are individuals who <span>possess the minimum qualifications required to prepare federal taxes and are granted a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) but are not Certified Public Accountants (CPA), lawyers, or enrolled agents.

They are only limited to filing only certain types of tax returns and can only represent their client on the basic audit level before the IRS.

In order for an unenrolled tax preparer to become an enrolled agent, he or she must do the following:
1) Pass a three-part examination before the IRS
2) Undergo compliance check on their tax history
3) Complete 16 hours of continuing education every year to retain their status. </span>

A map using a scale of 1 inch:5 miles shows a section of land with an area of 3.2 inches what is the actual area of the section

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Actual area = 3.2 x 5 = 16 miles

Which of the following is an equivalent form of the compound inequality<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20-%2044%20%5C%20%2

Novay_Z [31]

Given the compound inequality:

$-44>-2x-8⩾-8$

Let's find the equivalent form of the inequality.

To find the equivalent form, let's simplify the inequality.

SInce it is a compund inequality, we are to seperate the inequalities.

Simplify the first two inequalities, then simplify the last two inequalities.

We have:

First two inequalities: -44 > -2x - 8

Last two inequalities: -2x - 8 ⩾ -8

Let's simplify both

$\begin{gathered} -44>-2x-8 \\ \\ Rewrite\text{ the inequality and change the inequality sign:} \\ -2x-8$ $\begin{gathered} \text{Second inequality:} \\ -2x-8⩾-8 \\ \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the equivalent form is:

$-2x-8$

ANSWER:

$d.\text{ -2x - 8$
