Answer:

7/60

Step-by-step explanation:

CLOTHES: 4/15

FOOD: 1/5

DRINK: 5/12

Common denominator between fraction of money spend on clothes and food = 15.

Food = 1/5 * 3, on top of both the numerator and denominator equals 3/15. 3/15 = 1/5. Divide by 3 and you'll be right back at 1/5.

3/15 + 4/15 = 7/15 = fraction spent on food and clothes.

Now onto drinks. We know that drinks is 5/12. We also know that for the other clothes and food, it's 7/15. Think critically. The common denominator between 5/12 and 7/15 is 60, since 12 * 5 = 60, and 15 * 4 = 60.

5/12 * 5 = 25/60

7/15 * 4 = 28/60

25/60 + 28/60 = 53/60.

Remainder, 60-53 = 7.

7/60 [CAN'T BE SIMPLIFIED FURTHER]

-6x+6y=6<br> - 6x+3y=-12 also steps on how to solve it
Masja [62]

Answer:

x=5, y=6. (5, 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x+6y=6

-6x+3y=-12

---------------

simplify -6x+6y=6 into -x+y=1 and y=1-(-x)=1+x

-6x+3(1+x)=-12

-6x+3+3x=-12

-3x=-12-3

-3x=-15

3x=15

x=15/3

x=5

-6(5)+6y=6

-30+6y=6

6y=6-(-30)

6y=6+30

6y=36

y=36/6

y=6

Please help stuck on question
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Suppose we have a polynomial of degree N with a leading coefficient A and roots {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

We can write this polynomial as:

P(x) = A*(x - x₁)*(x - x₂)*...*(x - xₙ)

such that the terms:

(x - x₁), (x - x₂), etc...

are called the factors.

In this case, we know that the roots OF THE FACTORS

are:

(x = - 2)

(x = - (1 + √5))

(x = + 3i)

If the root of the polynomial is  x = -2, then the factor should be:

(x + 2)

which is zero when we evaluate x in -2

Then the correct option is the first one.
