Answer:

Solution: x=-\frac{1}{5},x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The rational equation to solve is given as:

\frac{x}{6}=\frac{x^2}{x-1}

Doing cross product, we get:

x\times (x-1)=6\times x^2\\x^2-x=6x^2\\\textrm{Bringing all variables to the right side, we get:}\\6x^2-x^2+x=0\\5x^2+x=0\\x(5x+1)=0\\x=0\ or\ 5x+1=0\\x=0\ or\ x=-\frac{1}{5}

Now, for x=0, the rational equation is equal to 0. So, x=0 is a solution.

Also, x=-\frac{1}{5} is also a solution.

So, no extraneous solution.

Circle
Doss [256]
Siras !  Don't try to picture this all in your head !
You'll wear out your brain.
You MUST sketch it on a piece of paper.
Draw an x-axis and a y-axis, then draw the two circles.

I'm drawing myself a picture right now, and I'm
supposed to be some kind of a genius.

a).  In order to move Circle-Q so that both centers are
at the same point, you need to move the center of Q
4 units down and 2 units to the right.
      When you do that, you'll have the little circle inside the
big circle, with their centers both at the same place.

b).  The radius of Q is 2.
       The radius of P is 20.
       What do you have to multiply 2 by, in order to get 20 ?
       THAT's the scale factor to dilate Q so that it has the same
radius as P.
       When you do that, suddenly it'll look like you only have one circle
on the paper ... they'll both have the same radius and their centers are
at the same place, so you can't tell them apart.

c).  All circles are similar !

I went online (you could easily go there too).  I searched the question
"Are circles similar ?" and a lot of interesting stuff came up.  (you could
do that too).  I saw a lot of ways to prove that all circles are similar. 
The best one says:

       Two figures are "similar" if you can make one of them
       exactly fit on top of the other one (make them congruent)
       with translations and dilations.

You just did that with P and Q !

-- Translation is moving them around.
   You moved Q and put the centers of both circles at the same place.

-- Dilation is blowing it up or blowing it down, so its size changes
but its shape doesn't change.
   You blew Q up so that it had the same radius as P.
   Then the two circles exactly fit over/under each other.

So the two circles are similar.

What is 1/7 -3/4 plz help
Ahat [919]
So in order to subtract you need a common denominator. So you multiply 3/4 by 7 and 1/7 by 4 and get 7/28 - 21/28 then you subtract and get - 14/28 or -1/2 if you want to simplify it.

lord [1]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Lillian works 7 hours each day for 5 days a week and that she earns £420 each week.

Her earnings per day will be: $420/5 days = $84/day.

Since she works 7 hours each day, her earning per hour will be:

= $84/7

= $12 per hour.

We are further told that Lillian decides that she is going to work 7 hours each day for only 4 days a week and that her earnings are to be reduced by 20%.

Her new earning will be:

= $420 - (20% × $420)

= $420 - (0.2 × $420)

= $420 - $84

= $336.

Her earnings per day will be:

= $336/4 days

= $84 per day

Her earnings hour will be:

= $84/7

= $12 per hour

A reduction of 20% is reasonable as she has lesser days to work while still maintaining the same wage rate per hour. Her per hour rate is still $12 despite working for lesser days.
