Answer:

  B.  2x + 5, with the restriction x ≠ five over 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is the difference of squares, so factors as ...

  the product of the quantity 2x plus 5 and the quantity 2x minus 5 over the quantity 2x minus 5

You will note that the numerator and denominator have a common factor:

  the quantity 2x minus 5

Factoring that out gives ...

  2x + 5, with the restriction x ≠ five over 2 (x is restricted from being a value that makes the denominator zero.)

<em>Comment on the form of the answer</em>

Since you have written your math expressions using words instead of symbols, we assume you can read them more easily that way. So, we have provided the explanation in the form you can most easily understand. (Personally, I prefer math symbols. They are more compact and tend to be less ambiguous.)

Answer:

B) 2x + 5, with the restriction x ≠ five over 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given verbal expression is " 4 x squared minus 25 over the quantity 2x minus 5."

Now let's convert this to algebraic expression, we get

\frac{4x^2 - 25}{2x - 5}

Now let's factorize the numerator.

4x^2 - 25\\= (2x)^2 - 5^2\\= (2x -5)(2x + 5)\\

We used the identity (a^2 - b^2) = (a -b)(a+b)

= \frac{(2x - 5)(2x +5)}{2x - 5}

Here we have (2x - 5) both in the numerator and in the denominator, we can cancel out.

= (2x + 5) where x ≠ 5/2

So the answer is B) 2x + 5, with the restriction x ≠ five over 2

Jay organised a large wedding and 1/3 of them chose beef 5/12 of them chose Chicken and 69 of them chose vegetarian so how many
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

276 Guests

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine how many guest were at the wedding

Guests that choose beef =1/3

Guests that choose chicken= 5/12

Guests that choose vegetarian=69

Now let calculate the how many guest were at the wedding

Let x represent the numbers of guest that were present at the wedding

Hence,

x/3 + 5x/12 + 69 = x

9x/12 + 69 = x

12x/12 - 9x/12 = 69

3x/12 = 69

x/4 = 69

x=69*4

x = 276 guests

Therefore the numbers of guests that were at the wedding is 276
