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

Which of the following is an equation for the plane through the point (1, 1, −1) and parallel
Bas_tet [7]

The given plane, x-y+z=3, has normal vector \vec n = \langle1,-1,1\rangle. Any plane parallel to this one has the same normal vector.

Let (x,y,z) be any point in the plane we want. The plane contains the point (1, 1, -1), so an arbitrary vector in this plane is

\langle x,y,z\rangle - \langle 1,1,-1\rangle = \langle x-1, y-1, z+1 \rangle

and this is perpendicular to \vec n.

So the equation of the plane is

\langle x-1, y-1, z+1 \rangle \cdot \vec n = 0 \implies (x-1) - (y-1) + (z+1) = 0 \implies \boxed{x - y + z = -1}

or equivalently,

\boxed{-x + y - z = 1}
