What is the sum of the rational expressions below?
x/5+2/3x

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x/5 + 2/3x

first you multiply both denominator.

this will be you denominator unless you can simplify it.

denominator=5 x 3X = 15X

now you times both denominator with the opposite numerator.

e.g. 5 x 2 and X x 3X.

=10 and 3X^2

now you and both numerators which is 3X^2 + 10

so the answer is b

answer: .75 km

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
