(x-1)(x+2)=5(x-1) divided by x-1

1 answer:

5 0

Assuming that your question is (x-1)(x+2) = [5(x-1)]/x-1

On the right side, the x-1's will cancel out, leaving you with (x-1)(x+2) = 5

expand the left side, giving you x^2 + x -2 = 5
which goes to x^2 +x -7 = 0
the possible values for x are 2.93 and -3.93. I don't think this was your question, so I'll do the other possible question that you might have been asking.

(x-1)(x+2) = 5(x-1)

divide by x-1 on both sides, leaving you with x+2=5
x+2=5
x=5-3
x=3

If 12000 people voted in the election,how many people were from 50 to 64 years old

inessss [21]

Assuming that this question is based on a graph, and that this graph tells us that people 50-64 years make up 35% of all the voters, then it would mean that
35%of 12000= $\frac{35}{100} *12000=35*120=4200$

So, assuming that people at age 50-64 make up 35% of the voters, then 4200 of them voted.

What is square root of 126 + square root of 56 in standard form

Feliz [49]

$\sqrt{126}= 3\sqrt{14} \\ \\ \sqrt{56}=2\sqrt{14} \\ \\ \\ \sqrt{126}+ \sqrt{56}= 3\sqrt{14}+2\sqrt{14}= 5\sqrt{14}$
