Answer:

D. h=7

Step-by-step explanation:

1               2            16

------ + ------------ = ----------

h-5        h+5          (h^2 -25)

1               2            16

------ + ------------ = ----------

h-5        h+5          (h-5)(h+5)

Since h^2 -25 factors in (h-5) (h+5)  ( it is the difference of squares)

We will multiply both sides by  (h-5) (h+5)  to clear the fractions

(h-5) (h+5)              2 (h-5) (h+5)            16 (h-5) (h+5)

------              + ------------                     = ----------

h-5                   h+5                                (h-5)(h+5)

Canceling like terms

 (h+5)              2 (h-5)             16

------              + ------------      = ----------

1                         1                          1

h+5 + 2(h-5) = 16

Distribute

h+5 + 2h -10 = 16

Combine like terms

3h-5=16

Add 5 to each side

3h-5+5 =16+5

3h =21

Divide each side by 3

3h/3 = 21/3

h = 7

With water from one hose, a swimming pool can be filled in 9 hours. A second, larger hose used alone can fill the pool in 2 hour
Monica [59]

1/9 + 1/2 = 1/x

Let x = length of time it will take both hoses to work together

Multiply both sides by 18x.

2x + 9x = 18

10x = 18

x = 18/10

x = 9/5

x = 1.8 hours

In other words, if both hoses work together, the pool can be filled in 1 hour and 48 minutes.

A number, x, rounded to 1 decimal place is 3.7<br> Write down the error interval for x.
mart [117]

Answer:

The error in rounding a number is half of the unit of measure. The number was rounded to the nearest 0.1 unit so the error is half of 0.1 which is 12⋅0.1=0.05  

2

1

​  

⋅0.1=0.05. Since 3.7+0.05=3.753.7+0.05=3.75 and 3.7−0.05=3.653.7−0.05=3.65, then the error interval is \boxed{3.65\le x&lt;3.75}.

jose bought 4 comic books and 2 nonfiction books. the 4 comic books cost him 8y dollars.if the cost of one nonfiction book is (3
professor190 [17]

write out the equation:

8y=3+7y  (I'm assuming y is the amount of comic books)
8=3+7
8=10

Obviously the equation isn't equal. The nonfiction is greater. By the way, I took out the y because I assumed that y was the amount of books and there was no need to write out 8 times one. On a test, make sure you specify this of the teacher may take off points, if she is using Common Core.
