Answer:

x cannot be 5 or -3.

\frac{x+5}{x+3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The restrictions for a fraction is that the bottom cannot be 0.

So if we find when the bottom is 0 we have found the values that x cannot be.

Let's solve x^2-2x-15=0.

Since the coefficient of x^2 is 1 all we have to do is find two numbers whose product is -15 and whose sum is -2.

Those numbers are -5 and 3 since (-5)(3)=-15 and (-5)+(3)=-2.

So the factored form of the equation is:

(x-5)(x+3)=0

This means either x-5=0 or x+3=0.

We do have to solve both.

x-5=0 can be solved by adding 5 on both sides.

x-5+5=0+5

x+0=0+5

x=5

x+3=0 can be solved by subtracting 3 on both sides.

x+3-3=0-3

x+0=0-3

x=-3

So x can be any number except x=5 or x=-3.

We already factored the bottom as (x-5)(x+3).

The top is a difference of squares, x^2-a^2,

which can be factored as (x-a)(x+a).

So the top factors as (x-5)(x+5).

The fraction can then be written as:

\frac{x^2-25}{x^2-2x-15}=\frac{(x-5)(x+5)}{(x-5)(x+3)}

This can further simplified assuming x is not 5 we can write it as \frac{x+5}{x+3}.  I canceled the common factor of (x-5).

-27+ 20w=73? plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

w = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-27 + 20w = 73

add 27 to both sides

-27 + 27 + 20w = 73 + 27

20w = 100

divide both sides by 20

20w/20 = 100/20

w = 5

Help with 2 and 3<br> Please help

2. Some fractions could be different in denominator and numerator so you'll have to make all denominators the same in order to order them. It'll make it easier because the numerator will show which numbers are greater than the other. For example, 1/2 and 3/4, u could convert both to equivalent fractions. Make 1/2 into 2/4 and 3/4 stays the same, 3/4 is greater than 2/4 so it goes first.

3. 2/3, 7/12, 4/9, 1/2, 3/8, 5/24.
It's in this order because their equivalent fractions are,
27/72, 48/72, 36/72, 42/72, 36/72, 15/72.( that's the order they're in in the question)

Help me solve this... i have a time limit so answer fast!!!
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²

35² = 15² + x²

1225 = 225 + x²

x² = 1225 - 225

x² = 1000

<u>X = 10√10</u>

Opal West has made a claim for an injury of a visiting ten-year-old who broke a toe in the family swimming
lozanna [386]

Answer:

C. $1,103.88

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost is:

1785.42 × 1.06635 = 1903.88

There was no physical damage to the pool, only an accidental injury.  So Opal pays the $800 deductible, and the insurance pays the rest, which is:

1903.88 − 800 = 1103.88
