Solve for a 5/a - 2/1-a = 2/a-1 a=0 a=-1 a=1 none

1 answer:

8 0

Hello :
$\frac{5}{a} - \frac{2}{1-a} = \frac{2}{a-1} = \frac{5}{a}+ \frac{2}{a-1} = \frac{2}{a-1}
= \frac{5(a-1)+2a}{a(a-1)} = \frac{2a}{a(a-1)} 
(a \neq 1 , a \neq 0)
$
5a-5 +2a =2a
5a =5
a=1 ( refused)
conclusion : none

What's the answer for 3/4 (x+3)=9

Vitek1552 [10]

We want to solve the equation :

$\displaystyle{ \frac{3}{4}(x+3)=9$

first, multiply both sides by 4:

$\displaystyle{ \cancel{4} \cdot \frac{3}{ \cancel 4 }(x+3)=4\cdot 9$

$\displaystyle{ 3(x+3)=36$

divide both sides by 3:

$x+3=12$

add -3 to both sides:

$x=9$

Answer: x=9

A: 1/2 inch B: 1 inch C: 2 inches D: 1/32 inch

mote1985 [20]

The expression of the height is

$a_n=8\cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}$

the index "n" is the numbers of times that the ball is down, to n=1 the height is 8 inches, to n=2 the height is 4 inches.

An when n=5, the height is

$a_5=8\cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{5-1}=8\cdot (\frac{1}{2})^4=\frac{1}{2} =0.5$

the anwers is 0.5 inches
