Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation : 

           (a)/(a^2-16)+(2/(a-4))-(2/(a+4))=0

<span> 3.1 </span>     Factoring: <span> a2 - 16</span> 

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, <span> A2 - B2  </span>can be factored into <span> (A+B) • (A-B)

</span>Proof :<span>  (A+B) • (A-B) =
         A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
         A2 <span>- AB + AB </span>- B2 = 
        <span> A2 - B2</span>

</span>Note : <span> <span>AB = BA </span></span>is the commutative property of multiplication. 

Note : <span> <span>- AB + AB </span></span>equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 16 is the square of 4
Check : <span> a2  </span>is the square of <span> a1 </span>

Factorization is :       (a + 4)  •  (a - 4)

   Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 1

Making Equivalent Fractions :

<span> 4.3 </span>     Rewrite the two fractions into<span> equivalent fractions</span>

Two fractions are called <span>equivalent </span>if they have the<span> same numeric value.</span>

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent, <span> y/(y+1)2  </span> and <span> (y2+y)/(y+1)3  </span>are equivalent as well. 

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the <span>Numerator </span>of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

<span> L. Mult. • L. Num. a —————————————————— = ————————————— L.C.M (a+4) • (a-4) R. Mult. • R. Num. 2 • (a+4) —————————————————— = ————————————— L.C.M (a+4) • (a-4) </span>Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

<span> 4.4 </span>      Adding up the two equivalent fractions

   Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 1

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = a-4

<span> L. Mult. • L. Num. (3a+8) —————————————————— = ————————————— L.C.M (a+4) • (a-4) R. Mult. • R. Num. 2 • (a-4) —————————————————— = ————————————— L.C.M (a+4) • (a-4) </span>Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the <span>denominator, </span>Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

a+16 ——————————— • (a+4)•(a-4) = 0 • (a+4)•(a-4) (a+4)•(a-4)

Now, on the left hand side, the <span> (a+4) •</span> (a-4)  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
   a+16  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

<span> 6.2 </span>     Solve  :    a+16 = 0<span> 

 </span>Subtract  16  from both sides of the equation :<span> 
 </span>                     a = -16 

One solution was found :

                  <span> a = -16</span>

A bicycle is traveling at 70 miles per hour how many feet will it cover in 25 seconds round your answer to the nearest tenth of
gulaghasi [49]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that the bike travels at 70 miles per hour. There are 5280 feet in one mile, so 70 miles is 369600 (70×5280).

We have 369600 in 1 hour, which is the same as 60 minutes. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so this means that there are 3600 seconds in an hour (60×60).

We have 369600 for 3600 seconds. We want to see how far the bike travels in one second, we simply divide 369600 by 3600.

369600÷3600≈102 2/3.

Now we multiply this by 25 for 25 seconds.

102 2/3×25=2566.7 (rounded to nearest tenth of a foot)

Therefore, in 25 seconds, the bike will have traveled 2566.7 feet.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Solve for x. 45(15x+20)−7x=56(12x−24)+6
Nady [450]

Answer:

The value of the equation for x is x=\frac{1119}{2} or 559.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

45(15x+20)-7x=56(12x-24)+6

We need to solve the equation for x.

Use the distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

45(15x+20)-7x=56(12x-24)+6

675x+900-7x=672x-1344+6

Add the like terms.

668x+900=672x-1338

Isolate the variable as shown:

672x-668x=900+1338

4x=2238

x=\frac{2238}{4}

x=\frac{1119}{2}

Hence, the value of the equation for x is x=\frac{1119}{2} or 559.5.
