If my calculations are correct the answer is cut your answer in half
Simplify the following:
((x^2 - 11 x + 30) (x^2 + 6 x + 5))/((x^2 - 25) (x - 5 x - 6))
The factors of 5 that sum to 6 are 5 and 1. So, x^2 + 6 x + 5 = (x + 5) (x + 1):
((x + 5) (x + 1) (x^2 - 11 x + 30))/((x^2 - 25) (x - 5 x - 6))
The factors of 30 that sum to -11 are -5 and -6. So, x^2 - 11 x + 30 = (x - 5) (x - 6):
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/((x^2 - 25) (x - 5 x - 6))
x - 5 x = -4 x:
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/((x^2 - 25) (-4 x - 6))
Factor -2 out of -4 x - 6:
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3) (x^2 - 25))
x^2 - 25 = x^2 - 5^2:
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/(-2 (x^2 - 5^2) (2 x + 3))
Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 5^2 = (x - 5) (x + 5):
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/(-2(x - 5) (x + 5) (2 x + 3))
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/((x - 5) (x + 5) (-2) (2 x + 3)) = ((x - 5) (x + 5))/((x - 5) (x + 5))×((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3)) = ((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3)):
((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3))
Multiply numerator and denominator of ((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3)) by -1:
Answer: (-(x - 6) (x + 1))/(2 (2 x + 3))
A linear equation cannot be used.
because 60/1 isn't equal to 70/5 and isn't equal to 80/20 and so on.
In order to find which one is or isn't, you need to solve for the value of 'x'.
2x + 15 = 35
2x = 20
x = 10
Substitute x =10, into equation. If each side are not the same (i.e. 0=2), then that's the equation that is not equivalent,
Answer is B
Double check this. Chur! :)
Hope this makes sense.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 2
x = 2 - 3y /2
x + y = 0
substitute the value of x
+ y = 0
2 - 3y + 2y = 0
2 = y
again,substitute the value of y
x = 2 - 3y / 2
=2 - 3*2 / 2
=2 - 6 / 2
=-2
