Simplify into one fraction. 6/x+2-1/x+9
Thats not on my answer. Here they are.
A.5x+7/(x+2)(x+9)
B.5/(x+2)(x+9)
C.7/(x+2)(x+9)
D.5x+52/(x+2)(x+9)
You need to learn to use grouping symbols.
6/(x+2)-1/(x+9)
common denominator (x+2)(x+9)
(6(x+9) -1(x+2))/(x+2)(x+9)
(6x+54-x-2)/( )( )
(5x+52)/( )( )
looks like answer D.
Jen's answer was wrong in any case, but you should have used some parentheses to make things clear.
All you need is a common denominator, as all the choices show. So, do what you do with normal numeric fractions:
6/(x+2) - 1/(x+9)
=
6(x+9) - 1(x+2)
------------------------
(x+2)(x+9)
Now it should be clear what the answer is.

Adam takes a loan of $8,250 at a 7% simple rate for 5 years.
a - How much interest will be paid after 3 years?
b - How much interest will be paid in total for the loan?

a - $577.50; b - $2,887.50
a - $1,732.50; b - $2,887.50
a - $4,352.00; b - $7,253.50
a - $17,325.00; b - $28,875.00
a) The simple interest formula is I = P * r * t, where I is the interest, P is the principal, r is the interest rate per year, and t is the time in years.
So, for three years,
I = 8250 * 0.07 * 3 = $1,732.50
Therefore, the answer is (a) $1,732.50.
b) The total interest for the loan is calculated using the same formula, but with the entire five-year period:
I = 8250 * 0.07 * 5 = $2,887.50
Therefore, the answer is (a) $1,732.50 for part (a) and (b) $2,887.50 for part (b).

What will be the balance in the account after 3.5 years?

$3,985.23
$3,932.50
We can use the Compound Interest Formula to solve this problem:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(n*t)
Where,
P = the principal amount ($3,250 in this case)
r = the annual interest rate (0.06 in decimal form)
n = the number of times the interest is compounded per year (once in this case, since we are told it is compounded annually)
t = the time in years (3.5 years in this case)
A = the account balance after t years
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
A = 3250(1 + 0.06/1)^(1*3.5)
A = 3250(1.06)^3.5
A = 3250(1.24836)
A = $4,059.98
Therefore, the balance in the account after 3.5 years will be approximately $4,059.98, which is closest to option (C) $3,985.23.

Using the compound interest formula, the balance in the account after 3.5 years will be:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(n*t)
A = 3250(1 + 0.06/1)^(1*3.5)
A = 3250(1.06)^3.5
A ≈ $4,059.98
Rounding to the nearest cent, the answer is closest to $3,985.23, so the correct answer is (C) $3,985.23.
Which is J = 4rb solved for r?
*
1 point
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
Option 4
We want to solve for r, so we need to isolate the variable r on one side of the equation.
J = 4rb
Divide both sides by 4b:
J/4b = r
Therefore, solving for r, gives us:
r = J/4b
So the answer is Option 2.

During exercise, the recommended maximum heart rate in beats per minute is modeled by the formula M = 176 – 0.8A, where M is the maximum heart rate and A is the person’s age.
Approximately, at what age would you have a recommended heart rate in beats per minute of 125?

70 years
67 years
52 years
64 years
M = 125 (as we want to find approximately at what age M is 125)
M = 176 - 0.8A
176 - 0.8A = 125
0.8A = 51
A = 51/0.8
A = 63.75
Therefore, at approximately age 63.75 (rounded to the nearest whole number), the recommended maximum heart rate is 125 beats per minute.
Rounding off to the nearest whole number, we get 64 years.
So, the answer is (D) 64 years.

3.8 +4.6 = 4.6 + 5.4 = 0.8
3.8 - 4.6 = 4.6 - 5.4 = -0.8
5.4 - 4.6 = 4.6 - 3.8 = -0.8
5.4 - 4.6 = 4.6 - 3.8 - 0.8
Using the method of finite differences, subtract each output from the one below it:
4.6 - 3.8 = 0.8
5.4 - 4.6 = 0.8
6.2 - 5.4 = 0.8
The common difference between consecutive outputs is 0.8.
Using this common difference, we can find the missing output:
6.2 + 0.8 = 7.0
Therefore, the missing output in the table is 7.0.

c. 5.4 - 4.6 = 4.6 - 3.8 = -0.8
d. 5.4 - 4.6 = 4.6 - 3.8 - 0.8
Using the method of finite differences, we can find the common difference by subtracting each output from the output below it:
4.6 - 3.8 = 0.8
5.4 - 4.6 = 0.8
6.2 - 5.4 = 0.8
The common difference between consecutive outputs is 0.8.
Using this common difference, we can find the missing output in the table:
6.2 + 0.8 = 7
Therefore, the answer is 0.8 as the common difference and the missing output in the table is 7.

What was Rita's rate? Was she slower or faster than Juan?

4 blocks in 4 mins; same speed as Juan
4 blocks in 4 mins; faster than Juan
4 blocks in 8 mins; slower than Juan
4 blocks in 8 mins; faster than Juan
To compare Rita's rate to Juan's rate, we need to calculate Juan's rate first.
Juan completed 6 blocks in 6 minutes, so his rate is:
6 blocks / 6 minutes = 1 block per minute
Rita completed 4 blocks in 4 minutes, so her rate is:
4 blocks / 4 minutes = 1 block per minute
Therefore, Rita's rate is the same as Juan's rate, so the answer is:
Rita's rate = 1 block per minute; same speed as Juan.
Answer: 4 blocks in 4 mins; same speed as Juan
