Factories both equations:
5(x - 4) / (x + 2)(x - 4)
Then take out the common brackets:
5 / x + 2
Minus 2 from both sides:
3 / x
If you are looking for the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator, the answer would be (x - 4)
Answer:
<em>In 5 years the product of their ages will be 208</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The age of two children is 11 and 8 years.
Let's call x the number of years ahead.
We need to find when the product of their future ages is 208. The 11 years old child will be 11+x years old and the other child will be 8+x years, thus:
(11+x)(8+x)=208
Operating:

Simplifying:

Factoring:
(x-5)(x+24)=0
Solving:
x=5, x=-24
The negative solution is not valid, thus x=5
In 5 years the product of their ages will be 208
1,995,000
The number after the thousands place is 2, which is less than 5 so the thousands place is rounded to 5,000 instead of 6,000.
52-13=39
39/52x100=75

The derivative of f(x) at x=3 is 2x=6 approaching from the left side (apply power rule to y=x^2). The derivative of f(x) at x=3 is m approaching from the right side. In order for the function to be differentiable, the limit of derivative at x=3 must be the same approaching from both sides, so m=6. Then, x^2=mx+b at x=3, plug in m=6, 9=18+b, so b=-9.
