Answer:
3x+1/2x
Step-by-step explanation:
When simplifying algebraic expressions, we should first factorise each term fully to find any common factors. First we should factorise the numerator where 3x2-8x-3 factorises to (3x+1)(x-3). Next, we should factorise the denominator where 2x2-6x factorises to 2x(x-3). Now we see that (x-3) is the highest common factor of both the numerator and denominator, hence we can "cancel" the (x-3) term from both the numerator and denominator. Therefore, the expression simplifies fully to (3x+1)/(2x)
Answer:
Difference in the lengths of the polygons is (x + 7) units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lengths of the given polygon = (7x + 2) units and (6x - 5) units
Therefore, difference in the given lengths = (7x + 2) - (6x - 5)
= (7x - 6x) + (2 + 5)
= x + 7
Therefore, difference in the lengths of the polygons is (x + 7) units.
1) The outcomes for rolling two dice, the sample space, is as follows:
(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)
There are 36 outcomes in the sample space.
2) The ways to roll an odd sum when rolling two dice are:
(1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 2), (3, 4), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 3), (4, 5), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 3), (6, 5). There are 18 outcomes in this event.
3) The probability of rolling an odd sum is 18/36 = 1/2 = 0.5
