Answer:
8 miles per hour (mph)
Step-by-step explanation:
24/3 = 8
Check:
8mph x 3 hours = 24 miles
Let's represent the two numbers by x and y. Then xy=60. The smaller number here is x=y-7.
Then (y-7)y=60, or y^2 - 7y - 60 = 0. Use the quadratic formula to (1) determine whether y has real values and (2) to determine those values if they are real:
discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; here the discriminant is (-7)^2 - 4(1)(-60) = 191. Because the discriminant is positive, this equation has two real, unequal roots, which are
-(-7) + sqrt(191)
y = -------------------------
-2(1)
and
-(-7) - sqrt(191)
y = ------------------------- = 3.41 (approximately)
-2(1)
Unfortunately, this doesn't make sense, since the LCM of two numbers is generally an integer.
Try thinking this way: If the LCM is 60, then xy = 60. What would happen if x=5 and y=12? Is xy = 60? Yes. Is 5 seven less than 12? Yes.
Answer:
60

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Rational expressions are bascially an expression where one polynomial is divided by another. And a polynomial is a series of terms like ax^b added together, where the exponents, what I labeled as b, need to be positive integers.
Answer:
-21 over 24 should be equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
Equivalent fractions are simple. To find an equivalent fraction simply multiply the denominator AND the numerator by any natural number other than 1 (a natural number is any number greater than zero, numbers that ARE zero or less AREN'T natural numbers i.e. 0, -1, -2, -3, you get the point)
