Answer:

To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.

Once you have simplified the expression, you get

-x-9/2x-4

But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write

x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4

So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.

Answer: 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Total \ sample \ space \ $=100$} \\\mathrm{Event \ $A = \ taking \ subway \ each \ day}$$P(A)=0.85$$Event $B=$ taking taxi $\because P(B)=0.6$$$P(A \cap B)=0.55$$$

$\begin{aligned}P(A \cup B) & \Rightarrow \text { Person taking either taxi/subway } \\&=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) \\&=(0.85-0.555)+(0.6-0.55)-0.55 \\&=1.45-0.55\\&\bf{=0.9} \end{aligned}$

Charra [1.4K]

The formula d = rt gives the distance traveled in time t at rate r. A bicyclist rides for 1.5 hours and travels 25 miles.
d= D. 37.5 miles per hour
r= 25
t=1.5
25*1.5
=37.5

How can you represent all of the solutions to systems of inequalities?

Dimas [21]

Answer:A closed, or shaded, circle is used to represent the inequalities greater than or equal to (≥) or less than or equal to (≤) . The point is part of the solution. An open circle is used for greater than (>) or less than (<). The point is not part of the solution. Solving" systems of linear inequalities means "graphing each individual inequality, and then finding the overlaps of the various solutions". So I graph each inequality, and then find the overlapping portions of the solution regions.Step 1: Line up the equations so that the variables are lined up vertically. Step 2: Choose the easiest variable to eliminate and multiply both equations by different numbers so that the coefficients of that variable are the same. Step 3: Subtract the two equations. Step 4: Solve the one variable system.
