Answer: I think the answer is 4x^2/(4x+3) (x-1)
Distribute -1 to all terms within the parenthesis
-(9x + 5) = -9x - 5
7x - 9x - 5
Simplify. Combine like terms
(7x - 9x) - 5
-2x - 5 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
x = - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
+
= 1
Multiply through by (x + 4)(x - 2) to clear the fractions
x(x - 2) + 7(x + 4) = (x + 4)(x - 2) ← expand using FOIL
x² - 2x + 7x + 28 = x² + 2x - 8
x² + 5x + 28 = x² + 2x - 8 ( subtract x² from both sides )
5x + 28 = 2x - 8 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
3x + 28 = - 8 ( subtract 28 from both sides )
3x = - 36 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = - 12
2/16 simplified is 1/8
4/24 is 1/6 which is bigger than 1/8
therefore 1/8= 2/16< 4/24
