Let x represent the larger number.
  1/(x -28) +4/x = 1/6
Multiplying by the product of denominators, we have
  6x +24(x -28) = x(x -28)
In standard form, this is
  x^2 -58x +672 = 0
  (x -42)(x -16) = 0

The two numbers are (-12 and 16) or (14 and 42).

Can someone help me figure out the answer?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

You will break even on the car wash when you buy 13.5 gallons. As long as you buy that or more, it is cheaper to get the car wash.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to create equations for both situations. If we let x equal the amount of gallons purchased, we can model the first equation as:

f(x) = 3.35x

And the second equation as:

f(x) = 3.05x + 4.05

Then to find when they equal each other, we can set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.

3.35x = 3.05x + 4.05

0.30x = 4.05

x = 13.5

This means once you buy 13.5 gallons, the prices will be the same. Any amount over that and the car wash will be cheaper

What is the solution of y-4=-2(x+3)
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute. -2•x and -2•3

This will give you y-4=-2x+-6

(You could also write it y-4=-2x-6)

Then add 4 to both sides.

y=-2x-2

Answer to the question
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

AE = EC

so, 5x + 3 = 118

5x + 3 = 118

Bring +3 to the other side so -3

5x = 118 - 3

5x = 115

Bring 5 to the other side so:

x = 115 ÷ 5

x = 65

Does anyone know this? :)
Scilla [17]

Answer:

2x²y+(x²y-2xy²) = 3x²y-2xy²

(5xy²-x²y) +3x²y = 5xy²-2x²y

4x²y+(x²y+xy²) = 5x²y+xy²

x²y+(-2xy²-4x²y) = -3x²y-2xy²

Step-by-step explanation: there you go
