The possible values of x are 5 and -1/12

<h3>Complete question</h3>

Given that 2x − 1∶ x − 4 = 16x + 1 ∶ 2x − 1 find the possible values of x

<h3>How to determine the possible values of x?</h3>

The ratio is given as:

2x − 1∶ x − 4 = 16x + 1 ∶ 2x − 1

Express as fraction

\frac{2x - 1}{x-4} = \frac{16x + 1}{2x -1}

Cross multiply

4x^2 -4x + 1 = 16x^2 + x  -64x - 4

Collect like terms

-16x^2 + 4x^2 + 64x - x - 4x + 1 + 4 = 0

Evaluate the like terms

-12x^2 + 59x + 5 = 0

Divide through by -1

12x^2 - 59x - 5 = 0

Expand

12x^2  + x - 60x - 5 = 0

Factorize

x(12x + 1) - 5(12x + 1) = 0

Factor out 12x + 1

(x - 5)(12x + 1) = 0

Expand

x  - 5 = 0 or 12x + 1 = 0

Solve for x

x = 5 or x = -1/12

Hence, the possible values of x are 5 and -1/12

I suck at math please help lol
sasho [114]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

since the 2 functions equal each other:

-2x + 3 = 4x - 9

add -2x to both sides

3 = 6x - 9

add 9 to both sides

12 = 6x

divide by 6

2 = x

you have x, now find y, you just need to plug 2 into one of the equations instead of both bc they both equal the same anyway

-2(2) + 3

-4 + 3

-1 = y

Now we'll find x + y, input them and it's 2 + (-1), which is 1

I need help pleaseee asap
Tasya [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

there is no big "trick" involved.

you just need to do the multiplication and then move the terms into the right spot, so that the x-, y- and constant terms are in the same place as the generic Ax + By = C

y + 5 = 4(x + 1)

y + 5 = 4x + 4

-4x + y = -1

or (after multiplying both sides by -1)

4x - y = 1

yes, B = 1 (or -1), so you could write 1y (or -1y) instead of only y (or -y).

but nobody does that.
