Y=(x+1)(x-1) this is factored out
3/2
<em>Step One:</em> 1 3/8, transform the number into a improper fraction:
- To have a mixed number in to a improper fraction, you need to use addition and multiplication. For 1 3/8, We first multiply the denominator (8, also know to be the bottom number of the fraction) to the whole number (1). 8x1= 8
- NOTE: The original denominator (8) will be use for are improper, again playing as the denominator, we only multiply the denominator for the numerator (which is the top number of a fraction).
- After multiplying, we'll add are product with the numerator (3) for the process. 8+3= 12
- Now we have both numerator and denominator for 1 3/8, we can create the improper fraction. 12 as the numerator and 8 as the denominator. 12/8
- We still need to simplify the number. To that, we need the biggest whole number, or rather I call it the lowest number, that can be divide both in 12 and 8.
- 4 can be divide by both number so: 12/4= 3 and 8/4=2
- Now 3 is are simplify numerator and 2 is are simplify denominator.
Step-by-step explanation:
EF = 4x - 15
FG = 3x - 7
EG = EF + FG = 20
so,
4x - 15 + 3x - 7 = 20
7x - 22 = 20
7x = 42
x = 6
EF = 4×6 - 15 = 9
FG = 3×6 - 7 = 11
