Anyone know the answer to this question??

Find the value of the variable y, where the sum of the fractions 6/(y+1) and y/(y-2) is equal to their product.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The answer is

$y = 3$

$y = - 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We must find a solution where

$\frac{6}{y + 1} + \frac{y}{y - 2} = \frac{6}{y + 1} \times \frac{y}{y - 2}$

Consider the Left Side:

First, to add fraction multiply each fraction on the left by it corresponding denomiator and we should get

$\frac{6}{y + 1} \times \frac{y - 2}{y - 2} + \frac{y}{y - 2} \times \frac{y + 1}{y + 1}$

Which equals

$\frac{6y - 12}{(y -2) (y + 1)} + \frac{ {y}^{2} + y }{(y - 2)(y + 1)}$

Add the fractions

$\frac{y {}^{2} + 7y - 12 }{(y - 2)(y + 1)} = \frac{6}{y + 1} \times \frac{y}{y - 2}$

Simplify the right side by multiplying the fraction

$\frac{6y}{(y + 1)(y + 2)}$

Set both fractions equal to each other

$\frac{6y}{(y + 1)(y - 2)} = \frac{ {y}^{2} + 7y - 12}{(y + 1)(y - 2)}$

Since the denomiator are equal, we must set the numerator equal to each other

$6y = {y}^{2} + 7y - 12$

$= {y}^{2} + y - 12$

$(y + 4)(y - 3)$

$y = - 4$

$y = 3$

1 Select the correct answer. Kalid simplified a polynomial expression as shown. (6x3 + 8x2 − 7x) − (2x2 + 3)(x − 8) step 1 (6x3

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

So, the step1 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is

$(6 x^3 + 8 x^2 - 7 x)-(2x^2 + 3)(x- 8)\\\\(6 x^3 + 8 x^2 - 7 x) - (2x^3 - 16 x^2 + 3 x - 24)\\\\6 x^3 + 8 x^2 - 7 x - 2 x^3 - 16 x^2 + 3 x - 24\\\\4 x^3 - 8 x^2 - 4 x - 24$

So, the step 1 is correct.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!1

A. Let x = cheese and
y = chocolate
2x + y = 25
x + y = 20

B. Subtract the second equation from the first.
2x + y = 25
-(x + y = 20)
-—————
x = 5

Plug 5 back in to the second equation and solve for y.
x + y = 20
5 + y = 20
Subtract 5 from both sides.
y = 15
5 cheese and 15 chocolate

Used elimination method because coefficients on the y values were both 1 so it was easy to subtract the equations and eliminate the y variable.

Write an equation of the line that passes through (1,2) and is parallel to the line y=-5x+4

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The equation of the Parallel line to the given line is 5x+y-7=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given that the line y = - 5x+4 and point (1,2)

The equation of the Parallel line to the given line is ax+by+k=0

Given straight line 5x + y -4 =0

The equation of the Parallel line to the given line is 5x+y+k=0

This line passes through the point (1,2)

5x+y+k=0

5(1)+2+k=0

⇒ 7+k=0

k =-7

Final answer:-

The equation of the Parallel line to the given line is 5x+y-7=0
