Please include the instructions; I assume your job is to find the value of x.
<span>1/(x+1) - 1/(x+2) = 1/2 would better be written as
1 1 1
</span><span>-------- - ------------ = ----
x+1 x+2 2
Identify the LCD. It is (x+1)(x+2)(2). Mult. all 3 terms of the equation by this LCD:
2(x+2) - 2(x+1) = 2(x+1)(x+2)
We can factor out the 2 from all terms:
x+2 - x - 1 = x^2 + 3x + 2
Let's move all terms from the left to the right side:
0 = x^2 + 3x + 2 - x - 2 + x + 1
Then x^2 + 3x + 1 = 0. This is a quadratic with a=1, b=3 and c=1.
What is x?
-3 plus or minus sqrt( 9-4(1)(1) ) -3 plus or minus sqrt(5)
x = --------------------------------------------- = ---------------------------------
2 2
I rather expected to obtain an integer value for x.
Why don't you give this problem a try yourself? Suggestion: First mult. every term by 2. This will give you:
2 2
------- - ------- = 1 and this may be slightly easier to work with. Please
x+1 x+2 give it a try: try to find x that satisfies this equation.
Important: note that x cannot equal either -1 or -2.

B. 437 divided by p equals 0.437
C. 53.45 divided by p equals 53.45
D. 6,340 divided by p equals 6.34
E. 2,458.2 divided by p equals 24.582
Which of the equations will be a true statement if p=10 power of 3? Select all that apply.
The answer is A D and E
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1. 7^(x-y)
2. z^5x^y
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rule of exponents is ...

OBAN

| STANRAER
172-------------------------------------112
To read this table you have to draw a vertical from OBAN downward aa horizontal line from the 1st value of STANRAER. The intersection point show the number of miles.
So there are 172 miles & the consumption is 8 mi/gal,. He needs 172/8 gal.
Cost number of gallons needed x price/ gallon
COST = (172/8) x 0.83
COST = (21.5) x 0.83 = 17.845 ≈ $17.85 (1st answer)
