Hello, so a simple way to do it is to cross cancel and then you would end up with 7/4 x 1/3 and it would equal 7/12 and that’s in simplest form.
Use a ruler for this problem. Take a picture of the measurement & then I could help you.
Answer:
<u>13 - 2x </u>
Step-by-step explanation:
(x +2)² + (x - 3)² - 2x²
<em>Expand.</em>
(x + 2)(x + 2) + (x - 3)(x - 3) - 2x²
x² + 2x + 2x + 4 + x² - 3x - 3x + 9 - 2x²
<em>Bring all the like terms together then simply.</em>
x² + x² - 2x² + 2x + 2x - 3x - 3x + 4 + 9
2x² - 2x² + 4x - 6x + 13
= <u>13 - 2x</u> (or <u>-2x + 13</u> )
Sum = (-3) + (-6) = -9
Yards gained are positive, and yards lost are negative.
If you lose 3 yards on one play and 6 yards on another, you have lost a total of 9 yards.
