It's not entirely clear to me what you're trying to solve, but it looks like the initial equation is

First convert each term into a fraction with the same (i.e. the least common) denominator. The first term needs to be multiplied by <em>a</em> + 2; the second term by (<em>a</em> + 3) (<em>a</em> + 2); and the third term by <em>a</em> + 3 :

Now that everything has the same denominator, we can combine the fractions into one. Move every term to one side and join the numerators:

Simplify the numerator:

If neither <em>a</em> = -3 nor <em>a</em> = -2, we can ignore the denominator:

Solve for <em>a</em> :

Answer:
<em>The percentage of the students who completed the poll preferred rock and roll music.</em>
<em>P(RR) = 0.1423 = 14.23 %</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-
<em>Given total number of students n(S) = 1960</em>
Given the Students at a high school were polled to determine the type of music they preferred.
Rap 916
Alternative 46
<em>Rock and Roll 279</em>
Country 183
Jazz 32
Other 89
<em>Let ' RR' be the event of Rock and Roll preferred music</em>
<em>given </em>Rock and Roll = 279
<em>n( RR) = 279</em>
<em>The percentage of the students who completed the poll preferred rock and roll music.</em>
<em></em>
<em></em>
<em>P(RR) = 0.1423 = 14.23 %</em>

V (Volume) = s^2 * h = 48 ------> h = 48s^-2
C (Cost) = (4sh)(2) + (2s^2)(1) = 2s^2 + 8sh = 2s^2 + 8s(48s^-2) = 2s^2 + 384s^-1
dC/ds = 4s - 384s^-2 = 0 ------> 4s(1 - 96s^-3) = 0
Since s can't be 0, the only possible solution is:
1 - 96s^-3 = 0
s^3 - 96 = 0
s = cube root(96) = 2 cube root(12) ~ 4.579 cm
s^2 = 4 + 2 cube root(18) = 2[2 + cube root(18)]
h = 48/s^2 = 24/[2 + cube root(18)] ~ 5.194 cm
