If 6 oranges cost 3.60 than one orange costs .60. To find, divide total price by number of oranges.
3.60/6 = .60
There is no set of pound in a gallon because we do not know the substance. Different liquids weigh different amounts.
3.5 gallons is equal to 448 ounces. To find, multiply the number of gallons (3.5) by the amount of ounces in a gallon (128)
3.5 * 128 = 448
Pound and pints are like gallons and pound. Unless we know the substance we cannot solve.
.75 pints is equal to 12 ounces. To find that, we multiply the number of pints (.75) by the number of ounces in a pint (16)
.75 * 16 = 12
Answer:
X 1 = -4,X 2 =12
EXPLANATION:
Determine the defined range
X+6/x=6/x-8,x#0,x#8
Simplify the equation using cross-multiplication
(X+6) x (x-8)=6x
Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign
(X-6)x(x-8)-6x=0
Multiply the parentheses
X^2-8x+6x-48-6x=0
Since two opposites add up to zero, remove them from the expression
X^2-8x-48=0
Write -8x as a difference
X^2+4x-12x-48=0
Factor out x from the expression
Xx(x+4)-12x-48=0
Factor out -12 from the expression
Xx(x+4)-12(x+4)=0
Factor out from the expression
(x+4)x(x-12)=0
When the product of factors equals 0, at least one factor is 0
x+4=0
x-12=0
Solve the equation for x
X=-4
X-12=0
X=-4,x#0,x#8
Check if the solution is in the defined range
X=-4
x=12
The equation has 2 solutions
X 1 = -4,X 2 =12
Hope this helps
