Answer:

2x and 5x are like terms, 2x and 3y are not. 3 and 5 are like terms, 6y and 2 are not. etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

For something to be a like term, they either have to have the same variable (ex: x and y and any other variable that may be used) or both be whole numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) No mixing the two.

Find the perimeter of a field that has length 2/x + 1 and width 5/x^2 -1.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

D)4x + 6/(x + 1)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A field is basically a rectangle, so to find the perimeter of our field we are using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

$p=2(l+w)$

where

$p$ is the perimeter

$l$ is the length

$w$ is the width

We know from our problem that the field has length 2/x + 1 and width 5/x^2 -1, so $l=\frac{2}{x+1}$ and $w=\frac{5}{x^2-1}$ .

Replacing values:

$p=2(l+w)$

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

Notice that the denominator of the second fraction is a difference of squares, so we can factor it using the formula $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ where $a$ is the first term and $b$ is the second term. We can infer that $a=x^2$ and $b=1^2$ . So, $x^2-1=(x+1)(x-1)$ . Replacing that:

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

$p=2(\frac{2}{x+1} +\frac{5}{(x+1)(x-1})$

We can see that the common denominator of our fractions is $(x+1)(x-1)$ . Now we can simplify our fraction using the common denominator:

$p=2(\frac{2(x-1)+5}{(x+1)(x-1)} )$

$p=2(\frac{2x-2+5}{(x+1)(x-1)} )$

$p=2(\frac{2x+3}{(x+1)(x-1)} )$

$p=\frac{4x+6}{(x+1)(x-1)}$

We can conclude that the perimeter of the field is D)4x + 6/(x + 1)(x - 1).

Five and 1/3÷2 2/3 simplified

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

5 1/3 ÷ 2 2/3

Write both mixed fractions (whole number in front of fully-reduced fraction) as improper fractions (numerator is larger than denominator).

5 1/3 = 16/3

2 2/3 = 8/3

16/3 ÷ 8/3

When dividing, switch the numerator and the denominator of the fraction after the division sign and change the division sign to a multiplication sign.

16/3 x 3/8

Multiply.

16/8

Divide by 8.

Hope this helps! :)
