Remember
you can do anyting to an equaiton as long as you do it to both sidess
distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
commutativ property
a+b=b+a
distribute
3(4x-2)=12x-6
12x-6=9+2x+5
add 6 both sides
12x+6-6=9+6+5+2x
12x+0=20+2x
minus 2x
10x=20
divide 10
x=2
Answer:
x=26
Step-by-step explanation:
3x +12 =90
subtract 12 from each side
3x=78
divide 3 from each side
x=26
The answer is 2/5 which is C. You're welcome
There are infinite equivalent fraction can be obtained just multiple by any number to both numerator and denominator and you will find equivalent fraction !
as 42/16, 63/24 etc
Top:
x / (x + 1) - 1 / x
= [x^2 - (x +1)] / x(x+1)
= (x^2 - x - 1 ) / x (x+1)
Bottom:
x / (x + 1) + 1 / x
= [x^2 + (x +1)] / x(x+1)
= (x^2 + x + 1 ) / x (x+1)
Now you have:
(x^2 - x - 1 ) / x (x+1)
----------------------------
(x^2 + x + 1 ) / x (x+1)
= (x^2 - x - 1 ) / x (x+1) * x (x+1) / (x^2 + x + 1 )
= (x^2 - x - 1 ) /(x^2 + x + 1 )
Answer:
x^2 - x - 1
---------------------
x^2 + x + 1
