(3n+2)/(n-4) - (n-6)/(n+4)
common denominator (n-4)(n+4)
{(n+4)(3n+2)-(n-4)(n-6)}/{(n-4)(n+4)}
Use the foil method:
{(3n²+14n+8)-(n²-10n+24)}/{(n-4)(n+4)}
distribute negative sign:
{(3n²+14n+8-n²+10n-24)}/{(n-4)(n+4)}
subtract:
(2n²+24n-16)/{(n-4)(n+4)}
take out 2:
2{n²+12n-8}/{(n-4)(n+4)}
I believe the answer is 24 times
hope this helps!
Is answer is 80% because you move the decimal to the right 2 times
Answer:
The original height of the tree is 18 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached photo for explanation.
From the diagram, we shall determine the value of 'x'. This can be obtained by using the pythagoras theory as follow:
x² = 5² + 12²
x² = 25 + 144
x² = 169
Take the square root of both side
x = √169
x = 13 m
Finally, we shall determine the original height of the tree. This can be obtained as follow.
From the question given above, the tree was broken from a height of 5 m from the ground which form a right angle triangle with x being the Hypothenus as illustrated in the diagram.
Thus, the original height of the will be the sum of 5 and x i.e
Height = 5 + x
x = 13 m
Height = 5 + 13
Height = 18 m
Therefore, the original height of the tree is 18 m.
