If p represents the pounds of poultry the caterer had originally, then serving 45 pounds from that amount would be <em /><em>subtracting it from the original amount</em>, leaving them with p-45 pounds of poultry. We're told that this new weight is more than, or <em>greater than</em>, 10 pounds. The > sign captures that fact nicely. Our inequality then becomes:

p-45\ \textgreater \ 10

Which means "p pounds of poultry, minus 45 pounds, is heavier than 10 pounds."

Edit: Solving that inequality by adding 45 to both sides, we find that

p \ \textgreater \ 55

Which means that the caterer started with more than 55 pounds of poultry.

3/x^2-1 - 2(x+3) = 5/x+1
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

X=1.132589

Step-by-step explanation:

If im correct the answer would be x=1.132589

3

x2−1

−2(x+3)=

5

x+1

3

(x+1)(x−1)

+−2x−6=

5

x+1

Multiply all terms by (x+1)(x-1) and cancel:

3+(−2x−6)(x+1)(x−1)=5(x−1)

−2x3−6x2+2x+9=5x−5(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−2x3−6x2+2x+9−(5x−5)=5x−5−(5x−5)(Subtract 5x-5 from both sides)

−2x3−6x2−3x+14=0

(Use cubic formula)

x=1.132589
