If we take the equation and multiply out the left side, we get....

+ 2xk +

=

+ x +

The x^2 and k^2 cancel out on both sides leaving us with this...
2kx = x
If we divide both sides by 2x to isolate k,
k ends up = 1/2
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportionality between skein values
8:2=4:1
Proportionality between cost values
28:7=4:1
The variation(both the skein values and cost values) has the constant of 4 ie the 1st skein value × 4= the last skein value & the 1st cost value × 4=the last cost value
Combine the fractions by finding a common denominator.<span><span><span><span> 7x</span>+2

The answer is B. (2x + 5)(x + 1)You could answer this by expanding each answer until you found one that matched 2x^2 + 7x + 5, but I will only show how the answer expands:
2x × x = 2x^2
5 × x = 5x
2x × 1 = 2x
5 × 1 = 5
So in total those brackets expand to 2x^2 + 7x + 5. I hope this helps!
Answer: 3,19 which is larger than the original
Step-by-step explanation: if you consider that the original average is 3 you can say that all 25 students have 3 siblings so the average is 3, if you add another students with 8 siblings and do some math (25*3+8)/26 its 3,19
