5. Solve the equation. 8/x+3 = 1/x+1

Mathematics
1 answer:
Helga [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = -5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

8               1

---------- = ----------

x+3           x+1

Using cross products

8 (x+1) = 1 (x+3)

Distribute

8x+8 = x+3

Subtract x from each side

8x-x +8 = x-x+3

7x+8 =3

Subtract 8 from each side

7x +8-8 =3-8

7x = -5

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = -5/7

x = -5/7

If ( f ∘ g)(x) = x2 - 6x + 8 and g(x) = x - 3, what is f(x)?
DochEvi [55]
\bf \begin{cases}
(f\circ g)(x)=x^2-6x+8\\\\
(f\circ g)(x)=f(~~g(x)~~)\\\\
g(x)=x-3\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, one probability is }x^2-1
\\\\\\
f(x)=x^2-1\implies f(~~g(x)~~)=(x-3)^2-1
\\\\\\
f(~~g(x)~~)=(x^2-6x+9)-1\implies f(~~g(x)~~)=x^2-6x+8

What’s the Multiplicative inverse
mylen [45]
The multiplicative inverse of -1/3 is -3.

The product of a number and it’s multiplicative inverse equals 1.

So... -1/3 x -3/1 = 1

A negative times a negative equals a positive.

the width of a rectangle is 6ft. find the perimeter of the rectangle if it's area is 42 square feet.
katrin2010 [14]
Formula: Area = length * width
Substitute in what you know: 42 = length * 6
Divide both sides by 6 to get the length: length = 7

Formula: Perimeter = 2 (length + width)
Substitute in what you know: P= 2 (7+6)
Solve: Perimeter = 26 ft

Can someone plz help me?!
Fantom [35]

Well since it's a prediction, you can see that its a 6.2 to 10 ratio. or 62%. So if you get any KPH number, times it by 62% or times it by 0.62. To by MPH into KPH you multiply by roughly 1.6

Therfore A = 46.5

B =  32
