Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
← factorise numerator and denominator
2x² - 18 ( factor out 2 from each term )
= 2(x² - 9) ← difference of 2 squares
= 2(x - 3)(x + 3)
and
x² + 4x - 21 = (x + 7)(x - 3) , then
= ← cancel common factor (x - 3) on numerator/ denominator
=
Answer:
1. 4
Step-by-step explanation:
For question 1, you need to know the ratio between the recipe and the amount in question.
So if in the recipe, it says it uses 3/4 cup of diced ham, and the question uses 1 cup of diced ham, you can divide 1 by 3/4 to get 4/3. This is how many times bigger the amount used in the question than the recipe.
Then it asks for how many cups of potatoes, to do this, you look at the recipe and how many potatoes it uses: 3.5 cups
To solve it then, you just do 3.5 x 4/3 to get 4 cups of potatoes
There's your answer.
