Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+3

------- = 3 + 1/x

x+2

Get a common denominator on the right

3*x/x + 1/x

3x/x + 1/x = (3x+1)/x


x+3       3x+1

------- = ---------

x+2         x


We can use cross products to solve

(x+3) *x = (3x+1) * (x+2)

x^2+3x = 3x*x +x + 3x*2 +2

Simplifying

x^2 + 3x = 3x^2 +7x+2

Subtract x^2 from each side

x^2 -x^2 + 3x = 3x^2-x^2 +7x+2

3x = 2x^2 +7x+2

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x = 2x^2 +7x -3x+2

0 = 2x^2 +4x +2

Divide by 2

0 = x^2 +2x +1

Factor

0 = (x+1) (x+1)

Using the zero product property

x+1 =0

x=-1

Answer:

The solution set is { -1 }.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we multiply each term by the LCM of x and x+ 2 ( = x(x + 2))  we get:-

x(x + 3) = 3x(x + 2)  + x + 2

x^2 + 3x = 3x^2 + 6x + x + 2

0 = 3x^2 - x^2 - 3x + 6x + x + 2

2x^2 +4x + 2 = 0

2(x^2 + 2x + 1) = 0

2( x + 1)(x + 1) = 0

x = -1    Multiplicity 2

The solution set  only contains 1 * -1 . Elements in a set are not repeated

So   its {-1}  (answer)

3. Reasoning Ben says that n = 5 is the solution of the equation 7n = 45. How can you check whether Ben is correct? ​
likoan [24]

Answer:

You cant, because Ben is WRONG, unless you made a typo while writing the question

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subsitute N for 5, then the equation would be 7 x 5 = 45. However, this is not true. The correct equation is 7 x 5 = 35, so Ben is wrong UNLESS you made a typo while writing the question.

Hope this helped! If it did, please mark it brainliest! It would help a lot! :D
