Find the difference 9x2-24x2

So, I'm assuming that the x represents multiplication...
Because multiplication has a higher precedence over addition, we'll multiply the numbers first:
18 + 48
Then we simply add:
66

Combine like terms:
9x² - 24x² = -15x²

Why can you NOT combine 3x and 5x^2 ?

diamong [38]

Although they are the same variable, you cannot add two variables raised to different powers. 3x^1 + 5x^2 cannot work, but 3x^2 + 5x^2 can. Also, if you are multiplying them, they would combine to be 15x^3, as 3 and 5 (The coefficients) multiply together and x^2 times x^1 = x^3.

I hope that helps.

What are the points of discontinuity y=(x-5)/x^2-6x+5?

ollegr [7]

$y = \frac{x - 5}{x^{2} - 6x + 5}$
$y = \frac{x - 5}{(x - 1)(x - 5)}$
$y = \frac{1}{x - 1}$

x - 1 = 0
+ 1 + 1
x = 1

please help me.... A painting company charges $250 base plus $16 per hour. Another painting company charges $210 base plus $18 p

dem82 [27]

Basically its 250 + 16x = 210 + 18x where x = the number of hours doing the job.

Solving, we get 40 = 2x, x =20

The jobs has to be 20 hours long in order for their two painting jobs to be equally priced.

Hope this helped!

What is the least common multiple of 8 and 9?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.

Contact [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM is when you find the lowest factor that 2 or more numbers share.

For 8 and 9,you would just need to keep multiplying each other until you find the same numbers. It would look something like this.

8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72..... etc.

9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81..... etc.

You can see how they both have the same factor (72), and since that is the lowest factor (which means I can find a lower factor then 72) then your LCM of 8 and 9 should be 72 :)
