<h3>
Answer:</h3>
x = 1
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
<em>The only solution is an extraneous solution</em>, which is to say the equation has no solution.
The rational expression reduces to -1 (for x≠1), which makes the equation ...
1 = 1/x
The only solution to this is x=1, which is specifically disallowed.
___
If you subtract the right side, the equation becomes ...
((-x+1)(x) +2(x)(x -1) -(x -1))/(x -1) = 0
(-x^2 +x +2x^2 -2x -x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses in the numerator
(x^2 -2x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
(x -1)^2/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor
This is undefined for the only value of x that could possibly be a solution, x=1.
Hi,
i worked out the problem and I attached the picture
Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Apples . . . . . 40 pounds
Oranges . . . . 5 pounds
Ratio of apples to oranges = 40 pounds / 5 pounds = 8 / 1 .
We determine first the rate of flow of water out of the bottle by dividing the difference in the volume with the difference in time.
r = (28 - 20) / (6 - 2)
r = 2 ounce/s
We calculate the first term by adding 2 ounce/s to the 2nd term, giving us the answer which is equal to 30 ounce/second.
