We factor the denominators
Factor x^2 - 16
x^2 - 4^2
We use a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)
so x^2 - 4^2 = (x+4)(x-4)
Replace it in the given equation

Excluded values are the values that makes the denominator 0
we have (x-4) and (x+4) in the denominator
We set the denominator =0 and solve for x
x-4 =0
Add 4 on both sides
x= 4
x+4=0
subtract 4 onboth side
so x= -4
Excluded values are x=-4 and x=4
15.99 + 9.99 = 26
26 x 4 = 104
26 x 3 = 78
your answer is 3
Answer:
There were 15 birds at the shelter on Monday
Step-by-step explanation: 15 birds x 5$ =75$ and 8 cats x 6$=48$ 75$ + 48$=123$
(p² + 3p + 6) + (2p² + 6p + 6)
First you must combine (aka sum) like terms. Like terms are numbers that have matching variables OR are numbers with out variables OR have matching variables with matching exponents. In this case the like terms are p² and 2p² (they both have the exponent p that is squared); 3p and 6p (they both have the variable p attached); and 6 and 6 (both numbers without variables)
(p² + 2p²) + (3p + 6p) + (6 + 6)
3p² + 9p + 12
Hope this helped!
