Answer:
7. (4x +10)/(x^3 +3x^2 -16x -48)
9. -320/93
Step-by-step explanation:
7. As with adding any fractions, first you find a common denominator. When the fractions are rational expressions, it often helps to factor the denominators.
6/(x^2 -16) -2/(x^2 -x -12) = 6/((x -4)(x +4)) -2/((x -4)(x +3))
= (6(x +3) -2(x +4))/((x -4)(x +3)(x +4)) . . . . . using a common denominator
= (6x +18 -2x -8)/((x -4)(x +3)(x +4))
= (4x +10)/((x^2 -16)(x +3))
= (4x +10)/(x^3 +3x^2 -16x -48)

9. First you simplify the denominator:
2/25 -5/16 = (2·16 -5·25)/(25·16) = -93/400
Then you perform the division. This can be done by multiplying by the inverse of the denominator.
(4/5)/(2/5 -5/16) = (4/5)·(-400/93) = -320/93
Only 0.15 or 3/20 of voters were eligible for Shelly. Only 0.3125 or 5/16 of voters were eligible for Morgan.
Let's try to find some primes that divide this number.
The number is not divisible by 2, because it is odd.
The number is divisible by 3 though, because the sum of its digits is:
So, we can divide the number by 3 and keep going with the factorization:
This number is again divisible by 3, because
We have
This number is no longer divisible by 3. Let's go on looking for primes that divide it: 5 doesn't because the number doesn't end in 0 nor 5. This number is not divisible by 7 or 11 either (just try). It is divisible by 13 though: we have
And 557 is prime, so we're done. This means that the prime factorization of 65169 is
