Assuming that your question is (x-1)(x+2) = [5(x-1)]/x-1
On the right side, the x-1's will cancel out, leaving you with (x-1)(x+2) = 5
expand the left side, giving you x^2 + x -2 = 5
which goes to x^2 +x -7 = 0
the possible values for x are 2.93 and -3.93. I don't think this was your question, so I'll do the other possible question that you might have been asking.
(x-1)(x+2) = 5(x-1)
divide by x-1 on both sides, leaving you with x+2=5
x+2=5
x=5-3
x=3
Answer: The answer is x^2 + 4x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
You just combine like terms, the only ones that can combine is the 6x and -4x. You just subtract them to get the answer of x^2 + 4x - 3.
function notation is the way a function is written. It is meant to be a precise way of giving information about the function without a rather lengthy written explanation.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is the product of two dimensions.
If the ratio of sides is k, then the ratio of areas is k²
<u>We have:</u>
- k² = 200/8
- k² = 25
- k = √25
- k = 5
Correct choice is C
