What is the solution to the equation x+3/x+2=3+1/x

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)

What’s is the value of n? HELP ASAP PLEASE
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The answer should be 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

Each line is being cut by a transversal, that means that the degree on the other side of it, added with the given degree will add up to 180°

1. On the right, you need to find the interior angle where 160° is outside so you subtract 180° from 160° to find the angle inside. That gives you 20°

2. On the top left you have 131° so 180°-131°=49°

Next you add the angles you have and then subtract it from 180 to get the interior angle with n° outside.

3. 20°+49°=69°

4. 180°-69°=111°

Then you do the same thing as the beginning which would be n°+111°=180°

5. n°+111°=180°, that means n=69°

Hopefully that clears it up for you :)

Jane randomly opens a 24 page magazine. find the probability that she would open it up to a page that is a prime number.How many
prohojiy [21]
The probability that Jane opens a prime page in a 24-page magazine is 0.375. There are 9 prime numbers between 1-24 and they are: 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19, and 23. To calculate, Probability = Events/Number of Outcomes which is 9/24 = 0.375. Hope this helps.

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 4) and (2, - 1)? A -1
Serggg [28]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1 )

m = \frac{-1-4}{2-(-3)} = \frac{-5}{2+3} = \frac{-5}{5} = - 1 → A
