Answers

Answer 1

The mathematical mistake that Riley made is that:
"She used the wrong common denominator." (Option A)

What is a Common Denominator?

A common denominator is a factor that is similar to all the fractions in the sequence of equations.

Hence the correct answer is:

(2(2x² - 6x + 9))/((x-3) (x-2) (x+3))

See the correct sequence of steps below:

Step One - the Expression is given as:

(x/(x-3)(x-2)) + (3/(x+3))

Step 2 - Find the common denominator and rewrite the expression so that the numerators are above the common denominators.

Hence we have:  (x (x+3) + 3(x-3) (x-2))/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)

Step 3  Apply the Law of Multiplicative Distribution:

Hence we have  (x² +3x+3x²-9x-6x+16)/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)

Step 4 -  Collect Like Items

This gives us: (x²+3x²)+(3x-9x-6x)+18/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)

Step 5 Sort for like coefficients

This gives us:  ((1+3)x² +(3-9-6) * x + 18)/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)

Step 6 -  check for the sum or difference

This gives us: (4x²+(3-9-6) * x+ 18)/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)

We simplify and factor the expression to get

(2(2x²-6x+6)/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3).

Radius (r) = 7 cm

Height (h) = 4 cm

Surface area of cylinder

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+3y=9 and 3x +4y = 36

Answers

The solution of the system of equations:

( -16.7, 19.28)

How to solve the system of equations?

Here we have the system:

4x+3y=9

3x +4y = 36

First, we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, let's isolate x on the second one:

x = 36/3 - (4/3)y = 9 - (4/3)y

Now we can replace this in the other equation:

4*(9 - (4/3)y) + 3y = 9

36 - (16/3)y + (9/3)y = 9

- (7/3)y = -36 - 9 = -45

y = (3/7)*45 = 19.28

To get the value of x, we get:

x = 9 - (4/3)*19.28 = -16.7

Then the solution of the system is ( -16.7, 19.28)

Which triangle would be most helpful in finding the distance between the points (-4,3) and (1, -2) on the coordinate
plane?

Answers

Answer:

Right Triangle, the distance between these two coordinates is 5.83 in whatever unit you're measuring.

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally when you're using triangles to find the distance between two graphed points, you're using a right triangle.

[tex]9 + 25 = 34\\\sqrt{34}=5.83[/tex]The reason behind that being you can draw lines on the x and y axis of these points and find where they connect. After doing so, you can directly connect the two points and create a right triangle.

To find the distance between the two points using a right triangle, we can use the formula for the hypotenuse: [tex]a^2 + b^2=c^2[/tex]

A and B is the distance between the point and where the lines you've drawn intersect. C is the resulting distance between the two points.

Plugging in A and B, which is 3 and 5, we can find C. 3 squared is 9 and 5 squared is 25.

[tex]3^2 + 5^2 = 9 + 25[/tex]

Now we add the two and find the square root.

[tex]9+25=34\\\sqrt{34} =5.83[/tex]

Your answer is 5.83

What is the solution to the equation 2(×+2. 4)=6. 4

Answers

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4.8 = 6.4

2x = 6.4 - 4.8

2x = 1.6

x = 0.8

Answer:

x = 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question we're given with an equation that is 2 ( x + 2.4 ) = 6.4 . And we're asked to find the solution of the equation that means we have to find the value of x .

Solution : -

[tex] \longmapsto \: 2(x + 2.4) = 6.4[/tex]

Step 1 : Removing parenthesis by multiplying 2 with x and 2.4 :

[tex] \longmapsto \: 2x + 4.8 = 6.4[/tex]

Step 2 : Subtracting 4.8 on both sides :

[tex] \longmapsto \: 2x + \cancel{4.8} - \cancel{4.8 }= 6.4 - 4.8[/tex]

On further calculations :

[tex] \longmapsto \:2x = 1.6[/tex]

Step 3 : Dividing by 2 on both sides :

[tex] \longmapsto \: \frac{ \cancel{2}x}{ \cancel{2 }} = \frac{1.6}{2} [/tex]

Calculating further :

Here , we have removed decimal from 1.6 . So it'll become 16 and 10 it'll divided by 10

[tex] \longmapsto \:x = \cancel { \frac{16}{2}} \times \frac{1}{10} [/tex]

Step 4 : Cancelling 16 by 2 :

[tex] \longmapsto \:x = \frac{8}{10} [/tex]

[tex] \longmapsto \: \green{\underline{ \green {\boxed{x = 0.8}}}}[/tex]

Therefore value of x is 0.8 .

Verifying : -

We are verifying our answer by substituting value of x in given equation. So ,

2 ( x + 2.4 ) = 6.4

2 ( 0.8 + 2.4 ) = 6.4

2 ( 3.2 ) = 6.4

6.4 = 6.4

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence, Verified .

Therefore, our value for x is correct .

c) How many counters are in the bag?

Pls reply with answers to a,b and c please.

Thanks​

Answers

Answer:

a) 2/10

b) 15

c) 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio: 2:3:5 = R:B:Y

If we add them all together, we can find the denominator for the fraction of how many counters are in the bag. 2+3+5 = 10.

If the ratio for R = 2, then the fraction is 2/10 (simplified)

If 9 of the counters are blue, to find the number of the other counters, we multiply the ratio numbers by 3 (because 3 x 3 is 9). So, the number of red counters is (2x3) 6, blue is 9, and yellow is (5x3) 15.

Now, to find the total amount, we can add 6, 9, and 15 together to get 30.

Hope this helps. If you require further explanation, let me know!
