Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
find the least common denominator for both fractions then combine them to find:

Answer:
This a circle centered at the point
, and of radius "3" as it is shown in the attached image.
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the standard formula for a circle of radius "R", and centered at the point
is given by:

Therefore, in our case, by looking at the standard equation they give us, we extract the following info:
1)
since the radius must be a positive number and (
) is not a viable answer.
2)
for (
) to equal 
3)
for (
) to equal 
Therefore, we are in the presence of a circle centered at the point
, and of radius "3". That is what we draw as seen in the attached image.
Answer: Part A = (100% - 80%)P = 35, Part B = 140
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Percentage: Like + Don't like = 100%
80% + Don't like = 100%
<u> -80% </u> <u> -80% </u>
Don't like = 20%
People: 20% of Patrons = Don't Like
0.20 x Patrons = 35
<u>÷ 0.20 </u> <u> ÷ 0.20 </u>
Patrons = 175
<u>Now, let's write the equation we used to get that answer</u>:
Let P represent the total number of patrons, then the equation is:
(100% - 80%)P = 35
= (1.00 - 0.80)P = 35
= 0.20P = 35
= P = 175
<u>Part B: </u>
80% of Patrons = Like
0.80 x 175 = Like
140 = Like
We start with

and wish to write it as

First, pull 2 out from the first two terms:

Let’s look at what is in parenthesis. In the final form this needs to be a perfect square. Right now we have

and we can obtain -10x by adding -5x and -5x. That is, we can build the following perfect square:

The “problem” with what we just did is that we added to what was given. Let’s put the expression together. We have

and when we multiply that out it does not give us what we started with. It gives us

So you see our expression is not right. It should have a -53 but instead has a -3. So to correct it we need to subtract another 50.
We do this as follows:

which gives us the final expression we seek:

If you multiply this out you will get the exact expression we were given. This means that:
a = 2
d = -5
e = -103
We are asked for the sum of a, d and e which is 2 + (-5) + (-103) = -106
