This is a proportion question.

0.5:40 miles :: 5:x

Translated into division you get 0.5/40 = 5/x          Cross multiply

0.5 x = 40 * 5                   combine the right

0.5x = 200                       divide by 0.5

0.5x/0.5 = 200/0.5          Divide

x = 400

Answer: The two cities are 400 miles apart

PLEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE help me!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

\boxed{\sf \ \ \ \dfrac{18}{(x-7)(x+12)(x+30)} \ \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

first of all we will study the quadratic expressions

we can write that, (the different answers provide good clues :-) )

x^2+5x-84=(x-7)(x+12)

and

x^2+23x-210=(x-7)(x+30)

so first of all as we cannot divide by 0 we need to take x different from 7, -12 and -30 and then we can write

\dfrac{1}{x^2+5x-48}-\dfrac{1}{x^2+23x-210}=\dfrac{1}{(x-7)(x+12)}-\dfrac{1}{(x-7)(x+30)}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+30) -(x+12)}{(x-7)(x+12)(x+30)}=\dfrac{x+30-x-12}{(x-7)(x+12)(x+30)}\\\\=\dfrac{18}{(x-7)(x+12)(x+30)}

hope this helps
