\dfrac{x-3}{x} - initial fraction

\dfrac{x-3+1}{x+1}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\dfrac{x-2}{x+1}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\2(x+1)=3(x-2)\\2x+2=3x-6\\x=8\\\\\dfrac{8-3}{8}=\dfrac{5}{8}

It's \dfrac{5}{8}

Which expressions are polynomials?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Definition : The expression that can have constants (like 4), variables (like x or y) and exponents (like the 2 in y^{2}), that can be combined using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but no division by a variable and a variable's exponents can only be 0,1,2,3,... etc. and it can't have an infinite number of terms.

1. 6 + p

Being p be a variable this equation is polynomial

2.  x – 1

Since x-1 has variable and constant so according to definition it is a polynomial

3. 8x−z3

According to definition it is a polynomial

4 .5x^{2}-x\sqrt{}

Since has root so it is not a polynomial .

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 3 inches in 8 inches find the range of possible links for the third side S
damaskus [11]

If a, b and c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle then

if a ≤ b ≤ c, then a + b > c.

1. a ≤ 3 ≤ 8 then a + 3 > 8 → a > 8 - 3 → a > 5 FALSE, because a ≤ 3.

2. 3 ≤ a ≤ 8 then 3 + a > 8 → a > 5 therefore  5 < a ≤ 8

3. 3 ≤ 8 ≤ a then 3 + 8 > a → 11 > a → a < 11 therefore 8 ≤ a < 11.

<h3>Answer: 5 < a < 11 → S = (5, 11)</h3>

The side of a square is 5 cm more than the side of another square. If the sum of their areas is 625 cm², then the side of the bi
jekas [21]

Answer:

20 cm is the side of the bigger square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one square's side be x,

Then another squares side will be ( x + 5 )

  • <em>Formula for square's area: side²</em>

Total area:

  • x² + ( x + 5 )² = 625
  • x² + x² + 10x + 25 = 625
  • 2x² + 10 x + 25 - 625 = 0
  • 2x² + 10x - 600 = 0
  • 2(x² + 5x - 300) = 0
  • x² + 5x - 300 = 0
  • x² + 20x - 15x - 300 = 0
  • x(x + 20) -15(x + 20) =0
  • x = -20, 15
  • x = 15

So one square's side is 15 cm

Then the bigger square has:

  • x + 5
  • 15 + 5
  • 20 cm
