Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jiri's age be 'x'. Pamela's age is 3x since Pamela's age is three times Jiri's age.

The sum of their ages is 116:

x + 3x = 116

4x = 116

x = 116 ÷ 4 = 29

x = 29

Jiri's age is 29

Find the least common denominator for these two rational expressions. B/b^2 -64 -7b/b^2+7b-8

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The least common denominator is (b-8)(b+8)(b-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given expression as

$\frac{b}{b^2-64}-\frac{7b}{b^2+7b-8}$

Firstly, we will factor both denominators

$b^2-64=b^2-8^2=(b-8)(b+8)$

$b^2+7b-8=(b+8)(b-1)$

so, we can plug it back

$\frac{b}{(b-8)(b+8)}-\frac{7b}{(b+8)(b-1)}$

First term denominator is

(b-8)(b+8)

Second term denominator is

(b+8)(b-1)

So,

Least common denominator will be

(b-8)(b+8)(b-1)

So, we get

$LCD=(x-8)(x+8)(x-1)$
