QUESTION 1

We want to solve,

\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-6x+8}

We factor the denominator of the fraction on the right hand side to get,

\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-4x - 2x+8}.

This implies
\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x(x-4) - 2(x - 4)}.

\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{(x-4)(x - 2)}

We multiply through by LCM of
(x-4)(x - 2)

(x - 2) + x(x-4) = 2

We expand to get,

x - 2 + {x}^{2} - 4x= 2

We group like terms and equate everything to zero,

{x}^{2} + x - 4x - 2 - 2 = 0

We split the middle term,

{x}^{2} + - 3x - 4 = 0

We factor to get,

{x}^{2} + x - 4x- 4 = 0

x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1) = 0

(x + 1)(x - 4) = 0

x + 1 = 0 \: or \: x - 4 = 0

x = - 1 \: or \: x = 4

But
x = 4
is not in the domain of the given equation.

It is an extraneous solution.

\therefore \: x = - 1
is the only solution.

QUESTION 2

\sqrt{x+11} -x=-1

We add x to both sides,

\sqrt{x+11} =x-1

We square both sides,

x + 11 = (x - 1)^{2}

We expand to get,

x + 11 = {x}^{2} - 2x + 1

This implies,

{x}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0

We solve this quadratic equation by factorization,

{x}^{2} - 5x + 2x - 10 = 0

x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0

(x + 2)(x - 5) = 0

x + 2 = 0 \: or \: x - 5 = 0

x = - 2 \: or \: x = 5

But
x = - 2
is an extraneous solution

\therefore \: x = 5

If 19 represents 228 gallons, what is the value of 6 units
levacccp [35]

Answer:

72 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

19 units represent 228 gallons

so

using proportion

Find out how many gallons represent 6 units

Let

x ---> the number of gallons for 6 units

\frac{228}{19}\ \frac{gallons}{units} =\frac{x}{6}\ \frac{gallons}{units}\\\\x=228(6)/19\\\\x=72\ gallons

Hakim invests $700 in a bank that pays 5% simple interest annually. After one year he uses the money in his account to buy a com
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

  $111

Step-by-step explanation:

The bank balance is ...

  $700 × (1 + 0.05) = $735

The cost of the computer is ...

  $750 × (1 -0.20) × (1 +0.04) = $624

The remaining bank balance after paying for the computer is ...

  $735 -624 = $111

_____

When you add a percentage, you effectively multiply by the sum of 1 and that percentage. The same is true if the amount "added" is negative (as for a discounted price).

  (original amount) + (percentage)×(original amount)

Use the distributive property to factor out the original amount:

 = (original amount)×(1 + percentage)

Vesnalui [34]
38.4 is the area. it’s 8.5 ft long so you do 8.5x2 and you get 17, and then for 10.7 you do 10.7x2 and get 21.4, then you add 21.4 and 17 together.
