22.5/(x-6) + 22.5/(x+6) = 9
multiply by x-6
=> (x-6)22.5/(x-6) + (x-6)22.5/(x+6) = 9(x-6)
=> 22.5 + (x-6)22.5/(x+6) = 9(x-6)
multiply by x+6
=> (x+6)22.5 + (x+6)(x-6)22.5/(x+6) = 9(x-6)(x+6)
=> (x+6)22.5 + (x-6)22.5 = 9(x-6)(x+6)
distribute
=> 22.5x+6(22.5) + 22.5x - 6(22.5) = 9(x^2 - 36)
=> 45x = 9x^2 - 9(36)
=> 0 = 9x^2 - 45x - 9(36)
divide by 9
=> 0 = x^2 - 5x - 36
=> 0 = x^2 - 5x - 36
=> 0 = (x - 9)(x + 4)
x=9 and -4
Horizontal
As they have the same y coordinates
Answer:
3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
JK =JL+LM
5x-8=JL +(2x -6)
JL = 5x-8 -2x+6
JL = 3x-2
