Answer: Number of terms = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$32abc+17ab-14bc-5$

We need to find the number of terms in this expression.

Terms are either variables or constants or product of both variables and constants. Each term is separated by positive "+" sign.

The given expression can be written as

$32abc+17ab+(-14bc)+(-5)$

Here, the terms are $32abc,17ab,-14bc,-5$ .

Therefore, the number of terms in the given expression is 4.

Answer: $\bold{x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}}$

both zeros are irrational numbers

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Note: The question would have made more sense if if it was 2/x = x - 1 but I will answer it as written.

$\dfrac{1}{x}=x-1\qquad \text{Restriction: }x\neq 0\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply, simplify, and set equal to zero:}\\1=x(x-1)\\\\1=x^2-x\\\\0=x^2-x-1\\\\\\\text{This is not factorable so you will need to use Quadratic Formula:}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}$
