(x + a)/(ax) = b/x
a= 2
b = 5
(x + 2) /(2x) = 5/x
cross multiply
x * (x+2) = (2x)*5
x^2 + 2x = 10x
x^2 - 8x = 0
x ( x -8) = 0
We get two solutions
x = 0, 8
the solution 0 is extraneous
the solution 8 is valid.

Solve pls brainliest

Goshia [24]

Hey there!

39 = - u / 6

MULTIPLY 6 to BOTH SIDES

39(9) = (-u / 6)(6)

CANCEL out: the RIGHT side

KEEP: the LEFT side because it helps solve for the u-value

NEW EQUATION: -u = 234

DIVIDE -1 to BOTH SIDES

-1u / -1 = 234 / -1

CANCEL out: -1 / -1 because it gives you 1

KEEP: 234 / -1 because it gives you the result of the u-value

NEW EQUATION: u = 234 / -1

SIMPLIFY IT!

u = -234

Therefore, your answer is: [u = -234]

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Solve the system by the elimination method.

Vika [28.1K]

10x + 2y - 6 = 0

Multiply 5x + y - 3 = 0 by 2

2(5x + y - 3 = 0) = 10x + 2y - 6 = 0

Cole wants to buy carpet to cover his whole living room, except for the tiled floor. The tiled floor is 4 5 6 ft by 2 1 3 ft. Fi

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

$Area = 49\frac{25}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tile

$Length = 4\frac{5}{6}$

$Width = 2\frac{1}{3}$

See attachment for dimension of the floor

Required

Determine the area covered by the carpet

From the attachment, the dimension of the floor is:

$Length = 12\frac{1}{4}$

$Width = 5$

Calculate Area

$Area = Length * Width$

$Area = 12\frac{1}{4} * 5$

$Area = 61\frac{1}{4}$

The area of the tiles is:

$Area = 4\frac{5}{6} * 2\frac{1}{3}$

$Area = \frac{29}{6} * \frac{7}{3}$

$Area = \frac{203}{18}$

$Area = 11\frac{5}{18}$

So, the carpet area is:

$Area = Floor\ Area - Tile\ Area$

$Area = 61\frac{1}{4} - 11\frac{5}{18}$

To improper number

$Area = \frac{245}{4} - \frac{208}{18}$

Take LCM

$Area = \frac{2205 - 416}{36}$

$Area = \frac{1789}{36}$

$Area = 49\frac{25}{36}$
