Multiply entire equation by (x-2)(x+1) to get rid of the denominators That would lead to X(x+1)+(x-1)(x-2)=-1(x-2)(x+1)
Finally, using distributive property and foil, you would get x^2+x+x^2-3x+2=(-x^2+x+2).2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+23x^2-3x=0
3x(x-1)x=0 and x=1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to get rid of the brackets.

9i + 2*7 + 2*3i Use the multiplication property to simplify the imaginary terms

9i + 2*3i + 2*7 Do the same to the real term

9i + 6i + 14 Use the addition of like terms property

15i + 14 And that's your answer.

You may not like my terminology, but you have to remember that every text teaches this differently.

Sam is practicing long track speed skating at an ice skating rink The distance around the rink and 250 yards has skated around t

Vladimir [108]

There are 1760 yards in one mile and the rink is 250 yard in perimeter.

This means 3 miles is 5280 yards.

If Sam has already gone around the whole rink 6 times, that means he was traveled a total of 1500 yards.

Sam has 3780 more yards to travel 3 miles.

This means he needs to do 15.12 more laps around the rink. Or 16 if you are rounding.

Hope this helps! :)
