Answer:

b=5

Step-by-step explanation:

−4+bx=2x+3(x+1)  (expand parenthesis first, i.e PEDMAS)

−4 + bx = 2x + 3x + 3

−4 + bx = 5x + 3   (move all x terms to one side and constants to another)

5x - bx = - 4 -3

5x - bx = - 7  (factor out x)

(5 - b)x = - 7

x = -7 / (5-b)

we can see that 5-b is in the denominator. Recall that for a fraction, the denominator cannot be zero otherwise the expression is undefined. (i.e no solutions)

hence the  expression is undefined if,

(5-b) = 0

or b = 5

Based on the pattern in the table what is the value of A
Arlecino [84]
Answer D, 1/64

The denominator has a pattern , if you look through it carefully each denominator is multiply by 2. There for you multiply 32 x 2 which gives you 64 so it’s 1/64. If you wanna confirm it , you could use a calculator to check your answer.
