Answer 1

Hello studentUnion!

[tex] \huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}[/tex]

Solve the equation-

[tex] \frac{5}{x - 3} - \frac{4}{x + 4} = \frac{1}{x} \\ [/tex]

[tex] \large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}[/tex]

[tex] \frac{5}{x - 3} - \frac{4}{x + 4} = \frac{1}{x} \\ [/tex]

Let's multiply both the sides of the equation by x (x - 3) & (x + 4) which is the LCM of (x - 3), (x + 4) & x. We can't solve it directly without taking the LCM first as the denominators are not equal to each other. Then do cross multiplication. After all these steps, you'll get an equation as..

[tex]x\left(x+4\right)\times 5-x\left(x-3\right)\times 4=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+4\right) \\ [/tex]

Now, use the distributive property & simplify it.

[tex]x\left(x+4\right)\times 5-x\left(x-3\right)\times 4=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+4\right) \\ \left(x^{2}+4x\right)\times 5-x\left(x-3\right)\times 4=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+4\right) \\ 5x^{2}+20x-x\left(x-3\right)\times 4=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+4\right) \\ 5x^{2}+20x-\left(x^{2}-3x\right)\times 4=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+4\right) \\ 5x^{2}+20x-\left(4x^{2}-12x\right)=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+4\right) \\ 5x^{2}+20x-4x^{2}+12x=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+4\right) \\ x^{2}+20x+12x=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+4\right) \\ x^{2}+32x=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+4\right) \\ x^{2}+32x=x^{2}+x-12 \\ x^{2}+32x-x^{2}=x-12 \\ 32x=x-12 \\ 32x-x=-12 \\ 31x=-12 \\ \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf \: x=-\frac{12}{31} }}[/tex]

The value of x is -12/31.

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]\frac{5}{x-3} -\frac{4}{x+4} =\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5(x+4)-4(x-3)}{(x-3)(x+4)} =\frac{1}{x} \\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5x+20-4x+12}{(x-3)(x+4)} =\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x+32}{(x-3)(x+4)} =\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

Use Cross multiplication

[tex]x(x+32)=(x-3)(x+4)[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} +32x = x^{2} +4x-3x-12[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} +32x=x^{2} +x-12[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} +32x-x^{2} -x=-12[/tex]

[tex]31x = -12[/tex]

[tex]\frac{31x}{31} =\frac{-12}{31} \\x = \frac{-12}{31}[/tex]

Hope this helps you.

1) Through any two points, there is exactly one line.- postulate

2) A line segment is a part of a line and is bounded by two endpoint. - Definition

3) If two lines intersect, then each pair of opposite angles are congruent. - Theorem

What are postulates?

"These are statements that are assumed to be true without proof."

What is definition?

"It is used to give a precise meaning to a new term."

What is theorem?

"It is a statement that can be proved to be true by accepted mathematical operations and arguments"

For given question,

We have been given three statements.

We need to classify them as theorem, postulate and definition.

The first statement is 'Through any two points, there is exactly one line.'

We know that this is the fundamental postulate use in Geometry.

The second statement is 'A line segment is a part of a line and is bounded by two endpoint.'

Above statement is the definition of line segment.

The last statement is 'If two lines intersect, then each pair of opposite angles are congruent.'

We can prove above statement by using Euclid's axiom.

So, above statement is a theorem.

Therefore, 1) Through any two points, there is exactly one line.' - postulate

2) A line segment is a part of a line and is bounded by two endpoint. - Definition

3) If two lines intersect, then each pair of opposite angles are congruent. - Theorem

IM DESPERATE FOR AN ANSWER Customers of a phone company can choose between two service plans for long distance calls. The first plan has an  $18  monthly fee and charges an additional  $0.13  for each minute of calls. The second plan has no monthly fee but charges  $0.17  for each minute of calls. For how many minutes of calls will the costs of the two plans be equal?​

Answers

Answer:

450 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

1st plan

18 + 0.13x = y

2nd plan

0.17x = y

x is minute of calls

y is the total price customers must pay

both of them equal as y = y

y = y

18 + 0.13x = 0.17x

18 = 0.17x - 0.13x

18 = 0.04x

x = 18/0.04

x = 450 minutes

To find the percentage of £48 you divide by 10 which gives you 4.8 to find 25% you know that 4.8 is 10% so 4.8+4.8=9.6 20%=9.6 to find 5% half 10% which = 2.4 in conclusion 9.6+2.4=12 20%+5%=12 £48+£12=£60 At the price window says, “that will be £60 please”.

Use the table to work out the values of a , b , c , and d .​

Answers

Answer:

a = 16, b = 6, c = - 4, d = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the appropriate values of x into the equation and evaluate.

x = - 3 : y = 1 - 5(- 3) = 1 + 15 = 16 → a

x = - 1 : y = 1 - 5(- 1) = 1 + 5 = 6 → b

x = 1 : y = 1 - 5(1) = 1 - 5 = - 4 → c

x = 2 : y = 1 - 5(2) = 1 - 10 = - 9 → d

Answer:

a=16; b=6, c= -4, d= -9

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]f(x)=1-5x\\f(-3) = 1-5(-3)=1+15=16\\f(-1) = 6\\f(1)=-4\\f(2)=-9[/tex]

7) What is the SECOND step in simplifying the equation below?
4 - 3y = 31

Answers

Answer:

subtract 4 from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

you will then get -3y=27 as your equation then you just divide each side by -3 and your answer will be y = -9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - 3y = 31

Step 1:  Subtract 4 from both sides

        -3y =  31 -4

         -3y = 27

Step 2:  Divide both sides by (-3)

[tex]\dfrac{-3y}{-3}=\dfrac{27}{-3}[/tex]

Find the gradient and y-intercept in this equation:
[tex]8x+2y+9=0[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Gradient: -4

y-intercept: [tex]-\frac{9}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 - Subtract 8x from both sides to isolate the 2y + 9

[tex]8x + 2y + 9 = 0\\8x + 2y + 9 - 8x = 0 - 8x\\2y + 9 = -8x\\[/tex]

Step 2 - Subtract 9 from both sides to isolate the 2y:

[tex]2y + 9 = -8x\\2y + 9 - 9 = -8x - 9\\2y = -8x - 9[/tex]

Step 3 - Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

[tex]\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{-8x}{2} - \frac{9}{2}\\y = -4x - \frac{9}{2}[/tex]

In this form, y = mx + b, the m value is the gradient with the b value being the y-intercept. This means:

[tex]y = -4x - \frac{9}{2}\\\\m = -4\\b = -\frac{9}{2} \\\\[/tex]

Resulting in the gradient being -4 and the y-intercept being [tex]-\frac{9}{2}[/tex].

Hope this helps!
