Answer:

The values of p in the equation are 0 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to make the denominators the same. to do that, first factor 2p^2-7p-4 = \left(2p+1\right)\left(p-4\right)2p

2

−7p−4=(2p+1)(p−4)

So then the equation looks like:

\frac{p}{2p+1}-\frac{2p^2+5}{(2p+1)(p-4)}=-\frac{5}{p-4}

2p+1

p

−

(2p+1)(p−4)

2p

2

+5

=−

p−4

5

To make the denominators equal, multiply 2p+1 with p-4 and p-4 with 2p+1:

\frac{p^2-4p}{(2p+1)(p-4)}-\frac{2p^2+5}{(2p+1)(p-4)}=-\frac{10p+5}{(p-4)(2p+1)}

(2p+1)(p−4)

p

2

−4p

−

(2p+1)(p−4)

2p

2

+5

=−

(p−4)(2p+1)

10p+5

Since, this has an equal sign we 'get rid of' or 'forget' the denominator and only solve the numerator.

(p^2-4p)-(2p^2+5)=-(10p+5)(p

2

−4p)−(2p

2

+5)=−(10p+5)

Now, solve like a normal equation. Solve (p^2-4p)-(2p^2+5)(p

2

−4p)−(2p

2

+5) first:

(p^2-4p)-(2p^2+5)=-p^2-4p-5(p

2

−4p)−(2p

2

+5)=−p

2

−4p−5

-p^2-4p-5=-10p+5−p

2

−4p−5=−10p+5

Combine like terms:

-p^2-4p+0=-10p−p

2

−4p+0=−10p

-p^2+6p=0−p

2

+6p=0

Factor:

p=0, p=6p

X-4=10;4x+1=57<br>i need to change the first equation into to the second equation.

cestrela7 [59]

Is this what you mean this is what i understood.

X-4=10;4x+1=57

First equation solve for x.

X-4=10

Add 4 both sides

X=10+4

X=14

Second equation substitute your x answer into second equation to make both sides equal.

4x+1=57

4(14)+1=57

56+1=57

57=57

Describe and correct the error(s) made in each of the problems below.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{(5-x)(-x)} =-\frac{x-1 }{ x(x-5)}$

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{s}\times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations </u>

It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them

When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different

The first expression is

$1-x / (5-x)(-x)=x-1 / x(x-5)$

Let's arrange into format:

$\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{(5-x)(-x)} =\frac{x-1 }{ x(x-5)}$

We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is

$\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{(5-x)(-x)} =-\frac{x-1 }{ x(x-5)}$

Now for the second expression

$5/s+2/5=2/s$

Let's arrange into format

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{s}+\frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{s}$

It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{s}\times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{s}$
