Can anyone help me with this? i don’t understand it, thank you.

24

Step-by-step explanation:

It is done by Middle term splitting.

Taking the general equation ax² + bx + c, by middle term splitting, "b" should be splitted such that the numbers either on adding or on subtracting must be equal to "b" and their products must be equal to "a x c".

For example, in the question it's already given that the equation 8x² + bx + c is middle term splitted into 8x² + px + qx + 3.

So, that means "p x q" must be equal to "8 x 3", i.e., 24.

Hope it helps :)

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
