Solution

Solve

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

Step 1: Evaluate and cross multiply

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x-1}{x-4}=\frac{x+1}{x-2} \\ x-1(x-2)=x+1(x-4) \\ x^2-2x-x+2=x^2-4x+x-4 \end{gathered}$

Step 2: Collect like terms

$undefined$

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

74.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be xy.

Then from the given data

x = y + 3..........(1)

The numerical value of xy is 10x + y so the second equation is

10x + y + 10y + x = 121

11x + 11y = 121 Simplifying:

x + y = 11

x = -y + 11 .........(2) Adding equations (1) and (2):

2x = 14

x = 7

and therefore y = 7 - 3 = 4.

The first step for deriving the quadratic formula from the quadratic equation, 0 = ax2 bx c, is shown.step 1: –c = ax2 bxwhich b

Ksju [112]

Answer:

option (b) is correct.

First step to solve for deriving the quadratic formula from the quadratic equation is completing the square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$

We have to find the first step for deriving the quadratic formula from the quadratic equation.

Quadratic formula is given by $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Consider the given quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$

Divide the equation by a, we get,

$x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+\frac{c}{a}=0$

Take $\frac{c}{a}$ to other side, we get,

$x^2+\frac{b}{a}x=-\frac{c}{a}$

Add $(\frac{b}{2a})^2$ to both side, we get,

$x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+(\frac{b}{2a})^2=(\frac{b}{2a})^2-\frac{c}{a}$

Thus, the left side is in the form of $(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab$

On solving, we get,

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2=(\frac{b}{2a})^2-\frac{c}{a}$

Then solve for x , we get quadratic formula $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Thus, first step to solve for deriving the quadratic formula from the quadratic equation is completing the square.

Thus, option (b) is correct.

Line A is represented by the equation given below:

MrMuchimi

To have infinitely many solutions they must describe the same line. So any multiple or fraction of the reference line would indeed describe the same line, and thus "intersect" at each and every of an infinite number of points.

2(x+y=4)

2x+2y=8 (is the same line as x+y=4)
