Answer:

x= 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Add the same term to both sides of the equation

2/x+1=3/x-5

2/x+1-1=3/x-5-1

2) Simplify-Add the numbers

2/x=3/x-6

3) Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

4) Simplify

5) Add the same term to both sides of the equation

6) Simplify

7) Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

8) Simplify

1/6=x

I hope this helps!

Find the length of a segment with endpoints at (1,-2) and (-4,-4)

Paha777 [63]

Call $(1,-2)$ for point A and $(-4, -4)$ for point B

Use the distance formula $AB = d(A, B) = \sqrt{(x_{B} - x_{A})^2 + (y_{B} - y_{A})^2}$

Insert values for $x_{B}$ , $x_{A}$ , $y_{B}$ and $y_{A}$

$AB = \sqrt{(-4 - 1)^2 + (-4 - (-2))^2}\\= \sqrt{(-4 - 1)^2 + (-4 + 2)^2}\\= \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-2)^2}\\= \sqrt{25 + 4}\\= \sqrt{29}$

If p(x) = 2x-4 and q(x)= x -3 what is (p o q)(x)

Fittoniya [83]

You replace the x in p(x) by x - 3:-

(p o q)(x) = 2(x - 3) - 4

= 2x - 10 (answer)

Find the distance between (3,-3) and (2,7)

yarga [219]

Answer:

$\sqrt{101} = D$

Step-by-step explanation:

Method #1

We can draw a <em>right triangle</em> on the graph upon where the points are located and use the Pythagorean Theorem:

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

${1}^{2} + {10}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

$1 + 100 = {c}^{2}$

$101 = {c}^{2}$

$\sqrt{101} = c$

* Whenever we talk about distance, we ONLY want the NON-NEGATIVE root.

_______________________________________________

Method #2

Or, we can use the Distance Formula:

$\sqrt{[-x_1 + x_2]^{2} + [-y_1 + y_2]^{2}} = D$

[2, 7] [3, −3]

$\sqrt{[-3 + 2]^{2} + [3 + 7]^{2}} = D$

$\sqrt{[-1]^{2} + 10^{2}} = D$

$\sqrt{1 + 100} = D$

$\sqrt{101} = D$

** You see? It does not matter which method you choose, as long as you are doing the work correctly.

I am delighted to assist you anytime.
