Answer:

x = √17 and x = -√17

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

$\frac{3}{x + 4} - \frac{1}{x + 3} = \frac{x + 9}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

To solve this we need to remove the denominators.

Then we can first multiply both sides by (x + 4) to get:

$\frac{3*(x + 4)}{x + 4} - \frac{(x + 4)}{x + 3} = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

$3 - \frac{(x + 4)}{x + 3} = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

Now we can multiply both sides by (x + 3)

$3*(x + 3) - \frac{(x + 4)*(x+3)}{x + 3} = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

$3*(x + 3) - (x + 4) = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

$(2*x + 5) = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}$

Now we can multiply both sides by (x^2 + 7*x + 12)

$(2*x + 5)*(x^2 + 7x + 12) = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}*(x^2 + 7x + 12)$

$(2*x + 5)*(x^2 + 7x + 12) = (x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)$

Now we need to solve this:

we will get

$2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 = (x^2 + 13*x + 3)*(x + 3)$

$2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 = x^3 + 16*x^2 + 42*x + 9$

Then we get:

$2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 - ( x^3 + 16*x^2 + 42*x + 9) = 0$

$x^3 + 3x^2 + 17*x + 51 = 0$

So now we only need to solve this.

We can see that the constant is 51.

Then one root will be a factor of 51.

The factors of -51 are:

-3 and -17

Let's try -3

p( -3) = (-3)^3 + 3*(-3)^2 + +17*(-3) + 51 = 0

Then x = -3 is one solution of the equation.

But if we look at the original equation, x = -3 will lead to a zero in one denominator, then this solution can be ignored.

This means that we can take a factor (x + 3) out, so we can rewrite our equation as:

$x^3 + 3x^2 + 17*x + 51 = (x + 3)*(x^2 + 17) = 0$

The other two solutions are when the other term is equal to zero.

Then the other two solutions are given by:

x = ±√17

And neither of these have problems in the denominators, so we can conclude that the solutions are:

x = √17 and x = -√17

Miss Hernandez has $100 to spend on parking and admission to the zoo the parking will cost $7 and Mission tickets will cost 1550

Mandarinka [93]

It should say $15.50. Parking = p. n = number of people.

n15.50 + 7 is the equation.

She can bring 6 people, because (6 * 15.50) + 7 = $100
Glad to help!

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

45 pieces out of 75 pieces are chocolate

45/75

Divide: 45/75 = 0.6

To get percentage from a decimal, move the decimal point to the right two place values

0.6 => 60%

60% of his candy are chocolate

A television and DVD player cost a total of $1230. The cost of the television is two times the cost of the DVD player. Find the

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Television = 820

DVD Player = 410

Step-by-step explanation: Imagine the television as 2, and the DVD player as 1. If you’re were to draw it out with boxes, you’d see that the tv has two boxes and the DVD player has 1 box. All are exactly the same amount, and there are a total of three boxes. So divided 1230 by 3 and you get 410. Using the idea of the boxes, the DVD player get’s one 410, and the tv gets two 410s, or 820.
