namely, let's rationalize the denominator in the fraction, for which case we'll be using the <u>conjugate</u> of that denominator, so we'll multiply top and bottom by its <u>conjugate</u>.
so the denominator is 5 + i, simply enough, its conjugate is just 5 - i, recall that same/same = 1, thus (5-i)/(5-i) = 1, and any expression multiplied by 1 is just itself, so we're not really changing the fraction per se.

So the answer your looking for is X=2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total price that Peter paid for the local parcel = $2.07
The rate per ounce at that time was = $0.23/ounce
Total weight of Peter's package = Total price paid by peter/ rate per ounce
Total weight of Peter's package = $2.07/$0.23 per ounce
We now have to divide 2.07/0.23 = 207/23 (Shifting both numerator and denominator by 2 decimal places) = 9
Total weight of Peter's package = 9 ounces
point A (-1-1) point B(-2-1)
