X-1/x-1=1 Solve the equation. These are fractions

1 answer:

6 0

X = all real numbers, except for x = 1.

A number divided by itself will always yield a result of 1. (x-1) is being divided by (x-1), which means that both the numerator and denominator are identical. This will always produce a result of 1, with one exception:

x cannot equal 1, as division by zero is impossible. (1-1) = 0.

State whether the equation is true, false or open? 4y+8=6y+3

g100num [7]

Answer:

Open

Explanation:

An open equation is an equation that has variables and CAN be solved

Example: 2x = 4 ......> can be solved giving ......> x = 2

A false equation is one where both sides can NEVER be equal

Example: 15 = 2(3) + 1 ..........> 15 can never be equal to 7

A true equation is one having no variables and both sides are ALWAYS equal

Example: 2(3) + 1 = 2(2) + 3 ........> 7 will always be equal to 7

Now, the given equation is:

4y + 8 = 6y + 3

Let's try to solve is:

4y + 8 = 6y + 3

6y - 4y = 8 - 3

2y = 5

y = 2.5

Therefore, the given equation contains a variable and can be solved which means that it is an open equation

Hope this helps :)
