Harmony used discarded paper to make notepads for her friends. She would fold five letter size pieces of paper three times then

Anna11 [10]

First fold of a piece of paper produces two smaller pieces of paper
Second fold of the resulting pieces of paper produces 4 smaller pieces of paper.
Third fold of the resulting pieces of paper produces 8 smaller pieces of paper.

Thus, the five letter size pieces of paper folded three times produces 8 x 5 = 40 notes.

Thus, one notepad consists of 40 notes.

If someone wrote ten notes per day, then one notepad will last for 4 days.

6/(x+1)-5/2=6/(3x+3)

jolli1 [7]

If you would like to calculate 6/(x+1)-5/2=6/(3x+3), you can do this using the following steps:

6/(x+1)-5/2=6/(3x+3)
6/(x+1)-5/2=6/(3(x+1)) /*(x+1)
6 - 5/2 * (x+1) = 6/3
6 - 2 = 5/2 * (x+1)
4 = 5/2 * (x+1) /*2/5
4 * 2/5 = x + 1
8/5 - 1 = x
x = 8/5 - 5/5 = 3/5

The correct result would be 3/5.

How to prove two equations have infinite solutions?

laiz [17]

To prove two equations have infinite solutions, you have to prove that those two equations are the same equations, but in a different form.

For example: Prove the equations are infinite
5y=2x+7
10y=4x+14
If you multiply the first equation by 2, and substitiute any of the numbers, you will get 0=0
