Answer:
The end result is -1/(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.
x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)
Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.
(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)
Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.
-1/(x + 1)
Answer:
The equation of the line is 6y = 7x + 23
Step-by-step explanation:
We begin by calculating the slope of the line;
mathematically, the slope is given by;
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
That would be;
m= (5-(-2))/(1-(-5))
m = 7/6
So the equation becomes;
y = 7/6x + b
We below need to get the value of the y-intercept b
We get this by making a substitution for any of the two points
Let’s say we make the substitution for (-5,-2) in which case y = -2 and x = -5
Thus, we have
-2 = 7/6(-5) + b
-2 = -35/6 + b
b = -2 + 35/6
b = (-12+ 35)/6 = 23/6
So we have;
y = 7/6x + 23/6
let’s multiply through by 6
6y = 7x + 23
Answer:
0.05
Explanation:
Let x = the number
.05 = .1x
5/100 = (1/10)x Multiply both sides by 10.
5/10 = x
1/2 = x
