(x + a)/(ax) = b/x
a= 2
b = 5
(x + 2) /(2x) = 5/x
cross multiply
x * (x+2) = (2x)*5
x^2 + 2x = 10x
x^2 - 8x = 0
x ( x -8) = 0
We get two solutions
x = 0, 8
the solution 0 is extraneous
the solution 8 is valid.
Answer:c
Just had it on apex
Step-by-step explanation:
What you can do is split one of the binomials and then apply the distributive property if f(x) = (x + 3)(x -2) split the 1st binomial f(x) = x(x -2) + 3(x -2) now apply the distributive property to get
f(x)=x2−2x+3x−6
which simplifies to
f(x)=x2+x−6
Answer:First you have to add all of the shirts together, which gives you: 40
Since 15 of those are black, then you need to put those 15 over the total number of 40, making it 15/40.
Then you must simplify by the highest number that will go into both, and since that number is 5, it will then go into 15 three times and it will go into 40 eight times.
That leaves you with the answer of: 3/8
