We have 2 denominators that we need to get rid of. Whenever there are the denominators, all we have to do is multiply all whole equation with the denominators.
Our denominators are both 2 and x+1. Therefore, we multiply the whole equation by 2(x+1)
![\frac{x}{2}[2(x+1)]-\frac{2}{x+1}[2(x+1)] = 1[2(x+1)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B2%7D%5B2%28x%2B1%29%5D-%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7Bx%2B1%7D%5B2%28x%2B1%29%5D%20%3D%201%5B2%28x%2B1%29%5D)
Then shorten the fractions.
![\frac{x}{2}[2(x+1)]-\frac{2}{x+1}[2(x+1)] = 1[2(x+1)]\\x(x+1)-2(2)=1(2x+2)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B2%7D%5B2%28x%2B1%29%5D-%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7Bx%2B1%7D%5B2%28x%2B1%29%5D%20%3D%201%5B2%28x%2B1%29%5D%5C%5Cx%28x%2B1%29-2%282%29%3D1%282x%2B2%29)
Distribute in all.
We should get like this. Because the polynomial is 2-degree, I'd suggest you to move all terms to one place. Therefore, moving 2x+2 to another side and subtract.
We are almost there. All we have to do is, solving for x by factoring. (Although there are more than just factoring but factoring this polynomial is faster.)
Thus, the answer is x = 3, -2
Cody because 18 out of 20 is %90 and 24 out of 30 is %80
First, you need to isolate the x in the first equation.
-x + 5y = 1
Subtract 5y from both sides, leaving you with the following equation:
-x = 1-5y
Because you are trying to solve for positive x and not negative x, you need to make x positive. Therefore you divide both sides by -1. In Algebra, when 1 is the coefficient of the variable, it is not shown, but it is still there. The new equation will be the following: x = 5y-1
Now you just need to substitute the x within the second equation for the x equation we just solved for.
Therefore, the right answer will be 2(5y-1)+4y= -4. Now, all you have to do is choose the answer that states exactly that, which is the first choice.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a number no less then 15
let the number be x
no less then 15....means it has to be 15 or more
x > = 15 (thats greater then or equal to)
