We factor the denominators
Factor x^2 - 16
x^2 - 4^2
We use a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)
so x^2 - 4^2 = (x+4)(x-4)
Replace it in the given equation
Excluded values are the values that makes the denominator 0
we have (x-4) and (x+4) in the denominator
We set the denominator =0 and solve for x
x-4 =0
Add 4 on both sides
x= 4
x+4=0
subtract 4 onboth side
so x= -4
Excluded values are x=-4 and x=4
Answer:
The answer(s) would be WY/WZ, or WYZ (If this is multiple choice)
Step-by-step explanation:
The reasoning is that in the "IRL Equation" the polls showed that orange juice was prefered over milk, and didn't matter whether they wanted a bagel or muffin. All that matters in this equation is that it is one sided (For the 1st poll that is) and now you are able to narrow down the possibilities of the answer(s).
X + (2 + x) + (4 + x) = 60
3x + 6 = 60
3x = 54
x = 18
x + 2 = 20
x + 4 = 22
Their ages are 18, 20, 22
