5 times 2/6 is 10/6
You can simplify that to 5/3
<span>-28x²-12x = -4x(7x+3) the first one is answer</span>
For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It is the slope of the line
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
We have the following points through which the line passes:
We find the slope of the line:
Thus, the equation of the line is of the form:
We substitute one of the points and find b:
Finally, the equation is:
Answer:
<em>x</em>/<em>r</em> + <em>x</em>/<em>w</em> + <em>x</em>/<em>t</em> = 1
<em>x</em> (1/<em>r</em> + 1/<em>w</em> + 1/<em>t</em>) = 1
<em>x</em> = 1 / (1/<em>r</em> + 1/<em>w</em> + 1/<em>t</em>)
To make the solution a bit cleaner, multiply through the numerator and denominator by the LCM of each fraction's denominator, <em>rwt</em> :
<em>x</em> = 1 / (1/<em>r</em> + 1/<em>w</em> + 1/<em>t</em>) • <em>rwt</em> / <em>rwt</em>
<em>x</em> = <em>rwt</em> / (<em>rwt</em>/<em>r</em> + <em>rwt</em>/<em>w</em> + <em>rwt</em>/<em>t</em>)
<em>x</em> = <em>rwt</em> / (<em>wt</em> + <em>rt</em> + <em>rw</em>)
Nice use of brackets. We know exactly what you mean.
(10 - 7 + 2) / (-2 + 1) Notice that with an even number of - signs, you get a plus and with and odd number you get a minus.
(5) / (-1) = - 5 answer
Edit
Numerator
10 does not change.
+ - 7 Here a plus and a minus are put together. There is 1 minus sign which is an odd number of minus signs so the 7 is minus
- - 2 Here there are 2 minus signs. They become plus because 2 is even, and an even number of minuses become a plus so you have +2
10 - 7 + 2 = 5
Denominator
-2 does not change. It remains minus 2.
- - 1 There are 2 minus signs so this becomes plus 1.
- 2 + 1 = - 1
Numerator over denominator = 5/-1 = - 5. I'll probably run out of editing time. If you still don't understand, try and pinpoint the problem and we'll keep trying until you do see it. This question is worth it.
