Mathematics

Inga [223]3 years ago

Answer:

u = -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 = -1/ (u+1)

Multiply each side by (u+1)

-3 *(u+1) = -1/ (u+1) * (u+1)

-3 (u+1) = -1

Distribute

-3u -3 = -1

Add 3 to each side

-3u -3+3 = -1+3

-3u = 2

Divide each side by -3

-3u/-3 = 2/-3

u = -2/3

Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply each side by u +1 to get it out of the denominator

-3(u + 1) = -1

now use distributive property

-3u - 3 = -1

add the 3 to move it over

-3u = 2

now divide by -3

u = -2/3

How many solutions does the following linear equation have?<br> y = -2x -4<br> y = 1/2x - 5
Andrews [41]

Answer:

x=2/5, y=-24/5. (2/5, -24/5).

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-2x-4

y=1/2x-5

----------------

-2x-4=1/2x-5

-2x-1/2x-4=-5

-4/2x-1/2x=-5+4

-5/2x=-1

5/2x=1

x=1/(5/2)

x=2/5

y=1/2(2/5)-5

y=1/5-5

y=1/5-25/5

y=-24/5

EastWind [94]
The two friends will be 150 miles apart, when the sum of the distances covered by the them is 150 miles.

distance = speed x time.
Let the time covered when they are 150 miles apart be x, then:
40x + 35x = 150
75x = 150
x = 150/75 = 2.

Therefore, the two friends will be 150 miles apart in 2 hours.
