Answer:
(x-5)/(x+1) and x cannot equal -1 because the denominator can't be zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the numerator:
(x+9)(x-5)
Factor the denominator:
(x+1)(x+9)
So you have
(x+9)(x-5)/(x+1)(x+9); see that you can cross out the (x+9) in both the numerator and denominator?
You're left with (x-5)/(x+1)
The only number that is restricted is -1, because that would make the denominator zero, which is a no no!!
Multiply the cost of an item or service by the sales tax in order to find out the total cost. The equation looks like this: Item or service cost x sales tax (in decimal form) = total sales tax. Add the total sales tax to the Item or service cost to get your total cost.
4x+ 3 = 3(2x-5) ;x=2; x^{2} = 4
