Answer:

1.  x/x+3 + x+2/x+5

2.   x+4/x²+5x+6 • x+3/x²−16

3. 2/x²−9 − 3x/x²−5x+6

4. x+4/x²−5x+6 ÷ x²−16/x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

1.   x/x+3 + x+2/x+5

Taking LCM of (x+3) and (x+5) which is: (x+3)(x+5)

[Mathematical symbol unavailable]

Therefore, to prove closure, The value of x≠-3 and x≠-5 because if their values are -3 and -5 then the denominator will be zero.

2.  x+4/x²+5x+6 • x+3/x²−16

Factors of x²-16 = (x)² -(4)² = (x-4)(x+4)

Factors of x²+5x+6 = x²+3x+2x+6 = x(x+3)+2(x+3) =(x+2)(x+3)

Putting factors

[Mathematical symbol unavailable]

Therefore, to prove closure, the value of x≠-2 and x≠4 because if their values are -2 and 4 then the denominator will be zero.

3.  2/x²−9 − 3x/x²−5x+6

Factors of x²-9 = (x)²-(3)² = (x-3)(x+3)

Factors of x²-5x+6 = x²-2x-3x+6 = x(x-2)+3(x-2) =(x-2)(x+3)

Putting factors

Taking LCM of (x-3)(x+3) and (x-2)(x+3) we get (x-3)(x+3)(x-2)

[Mathematical symbol unavailable]

Therefore, to prove closure, the value of x≠3 and x≠-3 and x≠2 because if there values are -3,3 and 2 then the denominator will be zero.

4.   x+4/x²−5x+6 ÷ x²−16/x+3

Factors of x²-5x+6 = x²-3x-2x+6 = x(x-3)-2(x-3) = (x-2)(x-3)

Factors of x²-16 = (x)² -(4)² = (x-4)(x+4)

Converting ÷ sign into multiplication we will take reciprocal of the second term

[Mathematical symbol unavailable]

Therefore, to prove closure, the value of x≠2 and x≠4 because if their values are 2 and 4 then the denominator will be zero.

ladessa [460]

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the first equation by 1, the second by -1 and add.

x + 2y = -16

-x - 6y = 28

--------------------

0 - 4y = 12

-4y = 12

y = -3

x + 2×-3 = -16

x - 6 = -16

x = -10

Eunice lives in indiana, which has a sales tax of 7%. She just bought a couch whose full price was $1200 but she got 20% off bc
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Total amount paid by Eunice=$1,044

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine full price of couch

Full price of couch=$1200

Step 2: Determine tax

Tax=tax rate×full price

where;

tax rate=7%

full price=$1200

replacing;

Tax=(7/100)×1,200=$84

Tax=$84

Step 3: Calculate the sale price

Sale price=Full price-20% discount

where;

Full price=$1,200

discount=(20/100)×1,200=$240

replacing;

Sale price=(1,200-240)=960

Sale price=$960

Step 4: Total amount paid by Eunice

Total amount paid by Eunice=Sale price+tax

where;

Sale price=$960

tax=$84

replacing;

Total amount paid by Eunice=(960+84)=$1,044

Total amount paid by Eunice=$1,044

Researchers capture and mark 43 squirrels in a park. The next week, researchers capture 50 squirrels and 38 of them are marked f
Vlada [557]

The question is an illustration of sample and population, and the estimate of the population of squirrel in the park is 55

<h3>How to determine the population of squirrel?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Marked squirrels = 43

Captured squirrels = 50

Of the 50 captured squirrels, 38 are from the marked squirrels.

This means that the number of unmarked squirrels is:

Unmarked = 50 - 38

Evaluate

Unmarked = 12

The population of the squirrel is then calculated using:

Population = Marked + Unmarked

So, we have:

Population = 43 + 12

Evaluate the sum

Population = 55

Hence, the estimate of the population of squirrel in the park is 55

An electrician charges $40 per visit, and $20 per hour of work. On a particular day, he made 3 visits and calculated that his av
saw5 [17]

Answer:

  4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For three visits, the electrician earned $40 × 3 = $120 in "per-visit" charges. For working x hours, he earned 20x in "per-hour" charges. The total of these came to 50x:

  120 +20x = 50x

  120 = 30x . . . . . . . . subtract 20x

  4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 30

The electrician worked 4 hours that day.
