Answer: x = -5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

If you factor each denominator, you can find the LCM.

\dfrac{2}{x^2-x-12}=\dfrac{1}{x^2-16}\\\\\\\dfrac{2}{(x-4)(x+3)}=\dfrac{1}{(x-4)(x+4)}\\\\\\\text{The LCM is (x-4)(x+4)(x+3)}\\\\\\\dfrac{2}{(x-4)(x+3)}\bigg(\dfrac{x+4}{x+4}\bigg)=\dfrac{1}{(x-4)(x+4)}\bigg(\dfrac{x+3}{x+3}\bigg)\\\\\\\dfrac{2(x+4)}{(x-4)(x+4)(x+3)}=\dfrac{1(x+3)}{(x-4)(x+4)(x+3)}\\

Now that the denominators are equal, we can clear the denominator and set the numerators equal to each other.

2(x + 4) = 1(x + 3)

2x + 8 = x + 3

x  + 8 =       3

x        =      -5

Theodore needs to mix a 30% alcohol solution with a 50% alcohol solution to create 100 milliliters of a 32% solution. How many m
Goryan [66]

Answer:

50 % alcohol solution = 10 millimetres

30 % alcohol solution = 90 millimetres

Step-by-step explanation:

two equations can be derived from this question

x + y = 100 equation 1

0.3x + 0.5y = 100 x 0.32 = 32

0.3x + 0.5y = 32 equation 2

where :

x = 30% alcohol solution

y = 50% alcohol solution

multiply equation 1 by 0.3

0.3x + 0.3y = 30 equation 3

subtract equation 3 from 2

0.2y = 2

y = 10

substitute for y in equation 1

x + 10 = 100

x = 100 - 10

x = 90

Ms. Donaldson earns $19.20 per hour for the first 40 hours she works in a week. She earns 1 1/2 times that amount per hour for e
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

a) $926.40

b) $606.32

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

If she worked a total of 45.5 hours, she will receive $19.20 per hour in the first 40 hours and 1.5 * $19.20 for the exceeding 5.5 hours, so her earnings is:

19.2 * 40 + 1.5 * 5.5 * 19.2 = $926.40

b)

The deduction is $34.75, so the remaining will be:

926.40 - 34.75 = $891.65

Then, after this deduction, the taxes is 32% of the remaining, so:

891.65 - 0.32 * 891.65 = $606.32

She received $606.32

How many blank pages remain
Ierofanga [76]
B) 14. 

If you start with subtracting the 8 pages from 50, you get 42 remaining pages. Then it says 2/3 of the REMAINING pages so you divide 42 into thirds. 42/3=14. You want 2/3 of that, so you multiply the 14 by two to get 28 (it's like there are three piles of 14 pages and you want only 2 out of the three piles). So now you've used 28 pages + the original 8. You've used a TOTAL of 36 pages. Subtract 36 from 50 and you get 14 left.
