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)

How to turn .9% into ratio​
leonid [27]

Answer:

9:100

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn 9% into a fraction by putting it over a hundred:

9/100

Then simply change the '/' into ':'

If this were another fraction, let's say, 4/6, then you'd put it in simplest form, which is 2/3 = 2:3

Lisa spends 1/4 of her earnings on rent and 1/5 of her earnings on food. Let m stand to
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her total earnings be m

Rent = 1/4m

Food = 1/5m

Amount left = m - 1/4m - 1/5m

Amount left = (20m - 5m - 4m)/20

Amount left = 11m/20

Answer:

See step-by-step explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

16. C, <AOB = 20

The total angle (<AOC) is equal to the sum of the angles inside of it (<AOB and < BOC).

<AOC= <AOB + <BOC

47=<AOB+27

<AOB=20

17. 24

Area of a square = s^{2}

36= s^{2}

s= 6

One side is 6

The perimeter of a square is 4(s)

4(6) = 24

Word of encouragement:

Good luck!
