To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [21, 42, 63, 84] making 21 the smallest multiple 3 and 7 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{9 x 7}{3 x 7} \) + \( \frac{5 x 3}{7 x 3} \)

\( \frac{63}{21} \) + \( \frac{15}{21} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{63 + 15}{21} \) = \( \frac{78}{21} \) = 3\(\frac{643}{900}\)

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr² where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))². If the diameter of the logo increases by 40% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{40\text{%}}{2} \) = 20%

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 9:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 9:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 81:18 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 18:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 81:18, 18:2 which reduces to 81:2.

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 18 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 18.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 18
w + h = \( \frac{18}{2} \)
w + h = 9
w = 9 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 9 - 2w
3w = 9
w = \( \frac{9}{3} \)
w = 3

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 3) = 6 and the area = h x w = 3 x 6 = 18 m²

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

-3a³ x 8a⁶
(-3 x 8)a^{(3 + 6)}
-24a⁹
