We have the expression:

\frac{1}{x - 1}=\frac{5}{x - 10}

When we have rational functions, where the denominator is a function of x, we have a restriction for the domain for any value of x that makes the denominator equal to 0.

That is because if the denominator is 0, then we have a function f(x) that is a division by zero and is undefined.

If we have a value that makes f(x) to be undefined, then this value of x does not belong to the domain of f(x).

Expression:

\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{x-1}=\frac{5}{x-10} \\ \frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{x-10}{5} \\ x-1=\frac{x}{5}-\frac{10}{5} \\ x-1=\frac{1}{5}x-2 \\ x-\frac{1}{5}x=-2+1 \\ \frac{4}{5}x=-1 \\ x=-1\cdot\frac{5}{4} \\ x=-\frac{5}{4} \end{gathered}

Answer: There is no restriction for x in the expression.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A can be seen in the attached picture below. Since there are 76 students that have both a license and a job we need to subtract 76 from each to get the amount that only have either a license or a job as seen in the table. Also we can see from the table that it sums up to 145 students, meaning that 5 students do not have neither a job or a license.

Part B, to calculate this we need to divide the amount of students that ONLY have a job by the total amount of students that have a job (since the rest of those students also have a license) Therefore:

17 / 93 = 0.1828

Now we can multiply this result by 100 to get the percentage.

0.1828 * 100 = 18.28%

Over [174]

Answer:

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the washer costs $51 more dollars than the dryer.

The washer costs x+51

The dryer costs x

So to simplify this we can do this equation:

2x+51=951

Substitute and simply the equation, and you should get this:

2x=900

x=450

Hope this helps! :)
