Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that your question is (x-1)(x+2) = [5(x-1)]/x-1
On the right side, the x-1's will cancel out, leaving you with (x-1)(x+2) = 5
expand the left side, giving you x^2 + x -2 = 5
which goes to x^2 +x -7 = 0
the possible values for x are 2.93 and -3.93. I don't think this was your question, so I'll do the other possible question that you might have been asking.
(x-1)(x+2) = 5(x-1)
divide by x-1 on both sides, leaving you with x+2=5
x+2=5
x=5-3
x=3
Answer: x=1,y=0
Step-by-step explanation:
X-2y=1.....equation 1
2x-y=2.....equation 2
X=1+2y.......equation 3
Substitute equation 3into 2
2(1+2y)-y=2
2+4y-y=2
2+3y=2
3y=2-2
3y=0
Y=0/3
Y=0
Substitute for y=0 in equation 1
X-2y=1
X-2(0)=1
X-0=1
X=1
X=1 & Y=0
Carter paid $200 for the bike.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Current value of bike = $90
This represent 45% of the original amount Carter paid for bike.
Let,
x represent the original amount of bike.
45% of x = 90
Dividing both sides by 0.45
Carter paid $200 for the bike.
