Assuming that your question is (x-1)(x+2) = [5(x-1)]/x-1
On the right side, the x-1's will cancel out, leaving you with (x-1)(x+2) = 5
expand the left side, giving you x^2 + x -2 = 5
which goes to x^2 +x -7 = 0
the possible values for x are 2.93 and -3.93. I don't think this was your question, so I'll do the other possible question that you might have been asking.
(x-1)(x+2) = 5(x-1)
divide by x-1 on both sides, leaving you with x+2=5
x+2=5
x=5-3
x=3
737 X 74 = 54,538
Evenly divided by: 2, 11, and 22
Answer and explanation:
Profit from sale of model boats = Sales -costs(costs of goods purchases + expenses or charges by the local fair)
John's profit from the sale of model boats can be represented by the equation:
P= 50x-(5x+80)
Where P is profit from the sale of the model boats and x is number of model boats bought and sold. The 80 is constant as it is a fixed cost paid to the local fair.
For example if John buys and sells 20 model boats, he would make profit of:
Substitute x=20 in equation above
P= 50×20-(5×20+80)
P=1000-180
P=$820
It could be said that John is in a very profitable business and his profit is also dependent on volume of sales because the lower his sales the closer he gets to making a loss and not profit
Answer
1 hour=60 minutes
Fraction= 35/60= 7/12
So your answer would be 7/12 :)
Answer:
Fraction = 6/5 and decimal = 1.2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 6/5 :
Divide 6 by 5 gives us 1 1/5 = 1.2.
