Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2 = 8

get rid of 2 to get x by itself on the left side

5x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 (whatever u do to one side do to the other)

5x = 10

divide to get 1x (divide both sides by 5)

x = 10

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

5×2=10-2=8

You subtract add two to both sides, giving you 5x=10

Divide the 10 by 5 and you get 2.

(x^2 - x^(1/2))/(1-x^(1/2))

Levart [38]

$\frac { \left( { x }^{ 2 }-{ x }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } } \right) }{ \left( 1-{ x }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } } \right) }$

$\\ \\ =\frac { \left( { x }^{ 2 }-\sqrt { x } \right) }{ \left( 1-\sqrt { x } \right) } \cdot 1$

$\\ \\ =\frac { \left( { x }^{ 2 }-\sqrt { x } \right) }{ \left( 1-\sqrt { x } \right) } \cdot \frac { \left( 1+\sqrt { x } \right) }{ \left( 1+\sqrt { x } \right) }$

$\\ \\ =\frac { { x }^{ 2 }+{ x }^{ 2 }\sqrt { x } -\sqrt { x } -x }{ 1+\sqrt { x } -\sqrt { x } -x }$

$\\ \\ =\frac { -\sqrt { x } \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) -x\left( 1-x \right) }{ \left( 1-x \right) }$

$\\ \\ =\frac { -\sqrt { x } \left( 1+x \right) \left( 1-x \right) -x\left( 1-x \right) }{ \left( 1-x \right) }$

$\\ \\ =\frac { \left( 1-x \right) \left\{ -\sqrt { x } \left( 1+x \right) -x \right\} }{ \left( 1-x \right) }$

$\\ \\ =-\sqrt { x } \left( 1+x \right) -x\\ \\ =-{ x }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } }\left( 1+{ x }^{ \frac { 2 }{ 2 } } \right) -x$

$\\ \\ =-{ x }^{ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } }-{ x }^{ \frac { 3 }{ 2 } }-x\\ \\ =-\sqrt { x } -\sqrt { { x }^{ 3 } } -x$

Sean spends 35 minutes revising for his exam. Erica spends 1 hours 15 minutes revising for her exam. Work out the total time, in

Alja [10]

The total time spent in minutes is 110 minutes

<h3>How to determine the total time?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Erica = 1 hour, 15 minutes
Sean = 35 minutes

The total time is calculated as:

Total = Erica + Sean

So, we have:

Total = 1 hour, 15 minutes + 35 minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

So, we have:

Total = 60 minutes + 15 minutes + 35 minutes

Evaluate the sum

Total = 110 minutes

Hence, the total time spent is 110 minutes
