You have to find the LCD or least common denominator.
In this case the LCD would be (x-6)(x+5).
Problem: x/ x-6 - 1/x+5
Step 1: multiply x-6 to the numerator and denominator of 1/x+5
1(x-6)/ (x+5)(x-6)
Step 2: multiply x+5 to the numerator and denominator of x/x-6
x(x+5)/ (x+5)(x-6)
After all that, this is how the problem should look now
x(x+5)/ (x-6)(x+5) - 1(x-6)/ (x-6)(x+5)
If you simplify this you get
x²+5x-x+6/ (x-6)(x+5)
If you subtract both 5x-x (like terms) you get
x²+4x+6/ (x-6)(x+5)
which is the answer
First do .80 x 10 to get $8 then add 8 to 5.50 to get $13.50
If the rectangle's area is X
then :
x+20=44
-20 -20
x=24
the rectangle's area is 24 square inches.
Answer:
the numbers are 20 and 24
Step-by-step explanation:
The numbers are in the ratio 5 : 6 = 5z : 6z , where z is a multiplier
The numbers sum to 44, thus
5z + 6z = 44
11z = 44 ( divide both sides by 11 )
z = 4
Hence
5z = 5 × 4 = 20
6z = 6 × 4 = 24
The two numbers are 20 and 24
I believe about 2.22 this is average because you have to divide to find what the average is so if you divide 12oz by $5.40. Your answer would be about 2.222 so your answer should be 2.22 and as you check your work you can use addition I really hope this has helped :)
