Answer:

  B.  2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can add 1/(x+5), then multiply by (x+5), then subtract (x+3).

\dfrac{2(x+1)+1}{x+5}=1 \qquad\text{add 1/(x+5)}\\\\2x+3=x+5 \qquad\text{multiply by x+5}\\\\x=2 \qquad\text{subtract x+3}}

_____

Sometimes you have to try several methods to find the easiest. One "always works" method is to subtract one side of the equation so you have something that equals zero. Here that would look like ...

\dfrac{2(x+1)}{x+5}-1+\dfrac{1}{x+5}=0 \qquad\text{subtract the right side}\\\\\dfrac{2(x+1)-(x+5)+1}{x+5}=0 \qquad\text{use a common denominator}\\\\\dfrac{x-2}{x+5}=0 \qquad\text{simplify}\\\\x=2 \qquad\text{the value of x that makes the numerator 0}

Answer:

B. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2(x + 1)}{x + 5}  = 1 -  \frac{1}{x + 5}

Multiply two sides by (x+5), we have

(x + 5)   \frac{2(x + 1)}{x + 5} = (x + 5) - (x + 5)  \frac{1}{x + 5}

so

2(x + 1) = x + 5 - 1  \\  =  >  \: 2x + 2 = x + 4 \\  =  > x = 2

What is the difference between a defined and an undefined term in Geometry?
Flura [38]
The difference between defined and an undefined term in Geometry is that defined terms can be combined with each other or an undefined term, and by doing this, there is another term defined. For example, an angle is a combination of two rays, which is an undefined term. Undefined term on the other hand is used to define other terms.

Answer:

<em>Probability point lies on shaded region: ( About ) 0.294</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>~ If we are to find the probability, we must find the area of the shaded figure, over that of the total area of this trapezoid ( whole figure ) ~</em>

Let us get the general dimensions. Firstly, the base of the trapezoid is composed of parts 5, 12, and 5. This is an isoceles trapezoid, meaning that the triangles ( shaded region )  are congruent to one another, including the altitudes. That would mean the non - shaded region is a parallelogram, provided altitudes are congruent and by definition of a trapezoid the bases are congruent.

1. Given the information above, the smaller base is congruent to the opposite side of the parallelogram created, so it is 12 units in length, the larger base being 12 + 5 + 5 ⇒ 22 units

2. By Pythagorean Theorem, if x ⇒ altitude of one of the triangles ( shaded region), 5^2 + x^2 = 13^2 ⇒ 25 + x^2 = 169 ⇒ x^2 = 144 ⇒ altitude = 12 units

3. Now we can find the area of this trapezoid by:  ( base + base/2 ) * altitude ⇒ ( 12 + 22 / 2 ) * 12 ⇒ ( 34 / 2 ) * 12 ⇒ ( 17 ) * 12 ⇒ 204 units^2

5. The shaded region is composed of two triangles, and knowing the triangles are ≅, let us solve for the area of one triangle and multiply that by 2 to find the total area of the shaded region. Area of triangle: 1/2 * base * altitude ⇒ 1/2 * 5 * 12 ⇒ 30 units^2. Area of shaded region: 30 * 2 = 60 units^2

<em>Probability point lies on shaded region: 60/204 ⇒ ( About ) 0.294</em>
