(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

Catie earned $3,511.95 last month. She used 3/5 of her earnings to pay her bills. With the remaining money she bought two skirts

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

$Amount \ left = 1345.81$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Total \ earning = T= $3,511.95$

$Spent \ on \ Bills = B = \frac{3}{5} T = 2107.17$

$Remaining \ amount = R = T-B = $3,511.95 - 2107.17\\R = 1404.78$

$Spent \ on \ Shopping = S = 2($21.99) + $14.99\\S = 58.97$

$Amount \ left = L = R - S\\Amount \ left = 1404.78 - 58.97\\Amount \ left = 1345.81$

An experimenter studies vision in low light by

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Independent variable- time spent in the dark room

Dependent variable - number of objects correctly identified

Conditions of the experiment- low light environment and lighted environments

Scores from the independent variable are used to construct the frequency distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is the factor that is being manipulated in an experiment and this time it is the time spent in a darkened room.

The dependent variable is the response variable, in this case, the number of objects correctly identified.

The experimental conditions involved bringing people from a lighted area into a darkened room.

Part A - Construct a circle of any radius, and draw a chord on it. The construct the radius of the circle that bisects the chord

Julli [10]

Answer:

It can be concluded that the intersection of a chord and the radius that bisects it is at right angle. The two are perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

i. Construct the required circle of any radius as given in the question, then locate the chord. A chord joins two points on the circumference of a circle, but not passing through its center.

ii. Construct the radius to bisect the chord, dividing it into two equal parts.

Then it would be observed that the intersection of a chord and the radius that bisects it is at right angle. Thus, the chord and radius are are perpendicular to each other.

The construction to the question is herewith attached to this answer for more clarifications.
