Question

are 3x + 33/ x+ 11 and 3 equivalent? Using complete sentences explain why or why not.

Answer 1

I can show you how

Answer 2

Thanks!

Answer 3

\[\frac{3x+33}{x+11}= \frac{3(x+11)}{(x+11)}=\frac{3\cancel{(x+11)}}{\cancel{(x+11)}}=3\]

Answer 4

When we factor out 3 from 3x+33 we get 3(x+11)

understood?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

3(x+11) =3*x + 3*11 =3x + 33 ok ?

Using complete sentences, explain each step in simplifying the ratio
x^2 + 8x
--------------
x^2 + 10x + 16

Answer 15

and provide the simplified form.

Answer 16

You have to factorise both equations x^2 + 8x & x^2 + 10x + 16

Answer 17

How do you factorise x^2 + 10x + 16 ?

Answer 18

(x+8)(x+2)

Answer 19

Yes Exactly!!

Answer 20

Now x^2 + 8x

Answer 21

x(x+8)

Answer 22

Yes Now put it in a fraction ....& cancel out (x+8) since its common

Answer 23

alright then what do you get

Answer 24

x(x+8)
----------
(x+8)(x+2)

what do you get after cancelling (x+8) ?

Answer 25

um not sure
