I think estimation is terrible. If u want to truly solve it, you just need to get a common denominator on each of the fractions. that means the bottom half of both fractions must be the same in addition or subtraction. so here, the common denominator would be 66. What times 6 = 66? 11. So 1*11/6*11 = 11/66. Then what times 11 = 66? 6. So 6*6/6*11.
Your new problem is 2 11/66 + 3 36/66. Now you can just add it up, but the denominators will always stay the same, 66. Your answer would be 5 47/66
If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:
8x + 4 = 10x - 6
Solving for x:
4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)
So, x = 5, which is the second option given.
Answer:
The exponent of the second term (b) starts with 0 (b0 = 1) and then increases by one in each following term until it is equal to the exponent of the binomial (5).
