First, you should equalize the denominator of first and second fraction. If the denominator multiplies by (x-5), so does the numerator. If the denominator multiplies by (x+3), so does the numerator.
(Look into my attachment at the second row)

Second, simplify the algebraic form for the numerator.
(Look into my attachment at the fourth row)

Third, simplify the denominator
(Look into my attachment at the last row)

In reality your common denominator should be the Least Common Multiple. The LCM is the product of highest occurring primes of the numbers prime factorizations...

4=2*2, and 12=2*2*3. So the LCM is 2*2*3=12 Now that you know what the least common multiple is we can say that:

(3/4)(3/3)+5/12

9/12+5/12

(9+5)/12

14/12

7/6 which should be converted to a mixed number as this is an improper fraction...

(6+1)/6

1+1/6

1 1/6

Hank is throwing a surprise party. The party costs $20 per person. Create an equation and graph to represent the relationship be

o-na [289]

Answer: Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of party per person = $20.

Let the number of friends be 'f'.

Let the cost of party be 'p'.

According to question, our equation becomes

p= 2f

So, if p = 100, then f = p/2 = 100/2 = 50 if f = 10, then, p = 2f = 2 • 10 = 20 If p = 300 then, f = 300/2 = 150, If f = 20, then, p = 2f = 2 • 20 = 40 So, Table as follows:

Number of friends cost of party

50 100

10 20

150 300

20 40
