Answer:
The answer is -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide both side by the numeric factor on the left side then solve
The expression for the perimeter would be
2(x) + 2(2x+7)
which can be simplified to 2x+4x+14
which equals 6x+14
We have 55% and 80% antifreeze. We need 90 gallons of 75%.
F - 55% and E - 80%
A) F + E = 90
B) .55 F + .80 E = 67.50 (which is .75 * 90) Multiplying A) by -.55
A) -.55 F -.55 E = -49.50 (which is -.55 * 90) then adding A) & B)
.25 E = 18
E = 72 gallons of 80% and
F = 18 gallons of 55%
********* DOUBLE CHECK ******************
72 * .80 = 57.60 and 18 * .55 = 9.90
57.60 + 9.90 = 67.50 gallons of antifreeze and we have 90 total gallons
(67.50 / 90) * 100 = 75% correct!

Well first you have to simplify the denominators with x, by multiplying the denominator on the left times the top and bottom of the middle, and vice versa to get 10x/(4x^2-4x)-9(2x-2)/(4x^2-4x)=-1/4 and then you combine the fractions on the left to get 2(9-4x)/(4x^2-4x)=-1/4 and then you cross multiply the fractions to get 8(9-4x)=-4x^2+4x and then simplify to get 72-32x=-4x^2+4x and then 4x^2-36x+72=0 which then we can turn into 4(x-6)(x-3)=0 so x is 6 and 3
