By <span>(x + 5/x^2 + 9x + 20) you apparently meant the following:
x+5
----------------------
x^2 + 9x + 20
and by
</span><span>(x^2-16/x-4)
x^2-16
you apparently meant ---------------
x - 4
Please use additional parentheses for clarity.
Dividing,
</span> x+5 (x-4)(x+4)
---------------------- * ---------------
x^2 + 9x + 20 x-4
Now, x^2 + 9x + 20 factors into (x+4)(x+5), so what we have now is
(x+5)(x+4)
------------------------- = 1 This is true for all x, so there are no exclusions.
(x+4)(x+5)
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I'm assuming AB=4=4x-2 was a typo and it's supposed to be AB = 4x - 2
AB=BC
AB = 4x - 2 BC = 3x + 3
4x - 2 = 3x + 3
Solve for x Add 2 to each side
4x - 2 = 3x + 3
4x - 2 + 2 = 3x + 3 + 2
4x = 3x + 5 Subtract 3x from each side.
4x - 3x = 3x- 3x + 5
4x - 3x = 5
x = 5
Now plug back in to the original equations
AB = 4x - 2 BC = 3x + 3
AB = 4 (5) - 2 BC = 3(5) + 3
AB = 20 - 2 BC = 15 + 3
AB = 18 BC = 18
So AB is 18
