Answer:
To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.
Once you have simplified the expression, you get
-x-9/2x-4
But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write
x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4
So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.
1/16
multiples 15,30,45,60, and 75 making 5/80 then you simplify to 1/16
steps
(x) = 5x^2-3x+7
refine
x=5x^2-3x+7
Switch sides
5x^2-3x+7-x=x-x
Subtract x from both sides
5x^2-4x+7=0
Solve with the quadratic formula
7/10 ÷ 1/5 = 3 1/2 because if you just find the reciprocal of the second number (in this case 1/5) and then simply multiply the two numbers straight across after you find the reciprocal, you will need to convert and simplify as needed, and then you get your answer.
