x=5,x=3

1) The restraint that x ≠2 and x≠3/2 is the condition that prevents that to have a zero on the denominator. 0 on the denominator makes an undefinition.

2) So now, let's solve it:

\begin{gathered} \frac{5}{x+2}=\frac{x}{2x-3} \\ 5(2x-3)=x(x+2) \\ 10x-15=x^2+2x \\ -x^2+10x-2x-15=0 \\ -x^2+8x-15=0 \\ x^2-8x+15=0 \end{gathered}

Note that cross multiplying we get a quadratic equation. So let's solve it:

\begin{gathered} x^2-8x+15=0 \\ Sx=-5-3=8_{}_{}_{} \\ Px=-5\cdot-3=15 \end{gathered}

Note that the sum of two numbers that yield -8x is -5 and -3 as well as -5 x -3 yields 15 as their product. But to find the answers via this method, we need to switch signs, so the answer is:

x_1=5,x_2=3

A quadratic equation yields two roots. And that's the answer.

Find an angle between 0 degrees and 360 degrees that is coterminal with 950 degrees
QveST [7]

Answer:

40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

(to find coterminal angles to a given angle, we add 360 degrees to the given angle or subject 360 degrees from the given angle any angle any number of time).

-1400 degrees is negative angl, so to get the coterminal angle between 0 degrees and 360 degrees ( the smallest positive coterminal angle), we must add multiples of 360 degrees until we get a possitive coterminal angle:

-1400 degrees+(360 degrees*4)

=-1400 degrees+1440

=40 degrees

so the answer is 40 degrees
