Simplify into one fraction -2/x+3 - 4/x-5

2 answers:

7 0

You have to multiply each term by what it's missing for the denominators to both be the same. The first term has x+3 but is missing x-5 so multiply top and bottom by x-5 and then distribute the numerator to -2x + 10. Do the same for the other term that is missing the x+3 and distribute to get -(4x+12). Distribute the negative in then simplify to get $\frac{-6x-2}{(x+3)(x-5)}$ or simplify even further to get $\frac{-2(3x+1)}{(x+3)(x-5)}$

Multiply and divide by the product of the denominators.
$\dfrac{-2}{x+3}+\dfrac{-4}{x-5}=\dfrac{-2(x-5)-4(x+3)}{(x+3)(x-5)}\\\\=\dfrac{-6x-2}{x^{2}-2x-15}$

Given: A(12,9), B(-2,-5) Find: M

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

$M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A(12,9), B(-2,-5)

The midpoint M is

$M = (\frac{12 - 2}{2} , \: \frac{9 - 5}{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{10}{2} , \: \frac{4}{2} )$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Harpreet, Sukhpreet and Komalpreet are three sisters. Sukhpreet is x years old. Harpreet is 3 years older than Sukhpreet. Komalp

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Harpreet = x + 3

Sukhpreet = x

Komalpreet = 2*(x + 3)

Average Age = 15

Equation

[(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15 Multiply both sides by 3

Solution

3 [(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15 * 3 Combine

[(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] = 45 Remove the brackets

x + 3 + x + 2x + 6 = 45 Combine like terms

4x + 9 = 45 Subtract 9 from both sides

4x + 9 - 9 = 45 - 9 Combine

4x = 36 Divide by 4

4x/4 = 36/4

x = 9

Answer

Harpreet is x+ 3 = 9 + 3 = 12
