: Please help! I have tried to figure out the following problems for the past few days, but cannot understand. This subject is foreign to me. Whatever assistance you can provide, will be greatly appreciated. Also, can you please provide a step by step explanation so I can better understand the solution? Thanks.
Simplify:
a. 5x + 2y / 35x + 14y b. x^2 -5x -14 / 2x^2 - x - 10
Multiply:
c. x^2 - x - 20 / x^2 - 3x - 10 . x^2 + 7x + 10 / x^2 + 4x - 5
d. 4x^2 - 9 / 4x^2 + 12x + 9
/ (6x - 9)
Perform the operation indicated. Be sure to simplify.
a. 8/7+2x + x+3/2x+7
Find the LCD. Do not combine fractions.
a. 12/5a^2 , 9/ a^3 b. 13/x^2 - 16 , 7/x-4
Add:
a. 2/y-1 + 2/y+1
Subtract:
a. 3/x^2 - x - 12 + 2/x^2 + x - 20
Solve and check problems.
a. x - 2/4x = 1/6 b. 3/x + 5 = 3/3x - 2
Solve:
a. 5/12 = x/8

Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Simplify:
a. 5x + 2y / 35x + 14y
Factor where you can to get:
(5x+2y)/[7(5x+2y)]
Cancel the factor common to numerator and denominator to get:
= 1/7
-------------
b. x^2 -5x -14 / 2x^2 - x - 10
Factor where you can to get:
[(x-7)(x+2)] / [2x^2-5x+4x-10]
= [(x-7)(x+2)] / [x(2x-5)+2(2x-5)]
= [(x-7)(x+2)] / [(2x-5)(x+2)]
Cancel the factor common to numerator and denominator:
=(x-7)(2x-5)
--------------
Multiply:
c. x^2 - x - 20 / x^2 - 3x - 10 . x^2 + 7x + 10 / x^2 + 4x - 5
Factor where you can to get:
[(x-5)(x+4)]/[(x-5)(x+2)]/[[(x+5)(x-1)]
Cancel where you can to get:
= [(x+4)/(x-5)]
=[(x+4)(x+2)]/[(x-5)(x-1)]
---------------------------
d. 4x^2 - 9 / 4x^2 + 12x + 9/ (6x - 9)
= [(2x-3)(2x+3)]/[(2x+3)(2x+3)]/3(2x-3)]
= (2x-3)/(2x+3)/(2(2x-3))/1
Invert the denominator and multiply:
= [(2x-3)/(2x+3)]
= 1/[2(2x+3)]
-----------------------
Perform the operation indicated. Be sure to simplify.
a. 8/7+2x + x+3/2x+7
The denominators are both the same so,
=(x+11)/(2x+7)
-----------------
Find the LCD. Do not combine fractions.
a. [12/5a^2] * [9/ a^3]
LCD = 5a^3
-----------------
b. [13/(x^2-16)]
LCD = (x-4)(x+4)
--------------
That's enough for now.
Please repost the rest of the problems
if you still need help.
