Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No 24 is not the best number to use for the LCD, although it will work. 12 is much better because it is smaller.

Factor each number into it's primes.

24 = 2*2*2*3

32 = 2*2*2*2*2

The highest common factor is 2*2*2 = 8

9/10 - 3/10 = 6/10 The denominator remains the same. The numerators get subtracted.

6/10 = 3/5 Two goes into both numerator and denominator of the answer. Therefore you can divide both 6 an 10 by 2

Shanelle already has $137 from babysitting. She needs at least $625 for a new tablet. Which inequality best represents this scen

kap26 [50]

Answer:

t + 137 ≥ 625

Step-by-step explanation:

Shanelle already have in her possession the sum of $137 from babysitting. She requires at least $625 for a new tablet. t is the remaining amount she needs to get the new tablet.

She already has $137 and to get the tablet she needs at least $625 . This means she needs nothing less than or equal to $625 to get the tablet. Recall t is the remaining amount needed to add to what she has to be able to reach the least amount required to purchase a tablet. Therefore , the sum of t and the amount of money already in her possession should be equal to or greater than $625.

To get the new tablet,

t + 137 ≥ 625

The length of ZX is 2 units. What is the perimeter of triangle XYZ?

dezoksy [38]

Keywords

triangle,perimeter,distance, length, side, points

we know that

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the three length side

To find the length side calculate the distance between two points

The formula to calculate the distance between to points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Step 1

Find the distance ZY

$Z(1,0)\\Y(3,1)$

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(1-0)^{2}+(3-1)^{2}}$

$dZY=\sqrt{5}\ units$

Step 2

Find the distance XY

$X(-1,4)\\Y(3,1)$

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(3+1)^{2}}$

$dXY=\sqrt{25}=5\ units$

Step 3

Find the perimeter of the triangle

$P=ZX+ZY+XY$

we have

$dZX=2\sqrt{5}\ units$

$dZY=\sqrt{5}\ units$

$dXY=5\ units$

Substitute

$P=(2\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{5}+5)\ units$

therefore

the answer is

$P=(3\sqrt{5}+5)\ units$

Can someone please give me the answer to these two?

Radda [10]

Answer:

3: D - Undefined

4: A - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For Question 3 your answer is D, undefined, because it does not have a slope, a slope is like a hill, but that just goes straight up, thus it is undefined.

For Question 4 your answer is A, 1, because it moves one digit to the right and then 1 digit up, Thus that is your answer.

The product of 8 and b is less than or equal to 13

Ugo [173]

Answer:

1 or 0

Step-by-step explanation:

8 x b = 13

You can't divide 8 by two because that equals 16 so 8 x 1 is less than 8.

And 8 x 0 is 0
