It would be best if you were to enclose each denominator inside parentheses.  Otherwise I have to take an educated guess regarding what you meant:

                                      1        1               x - 2
<span>1/x+1/x-3=x-2/x-3  =>  ----- + ------ =     ----------
                                       x       x-3            x - 3

The LCD here is x(x-3).

x-3            x          x(x-2)
------- + --------- = -------------
LCD        LCD       LCD

Then x-3+x=x^2 -3x,         or           2x-3=x^2-3x        or     x^2 - 5x - 3 = 0


Using the quadratic formula to solve for x:

        5 plus or minus sqrt(25-4(1)(-3)
x = --------------------------------------------
                             2

          5 plus or minus sqrt( 25 + 12)
   = --------------------------------------------
                             2

There are 2 solutions.  Complete the arithmetic to find them.
  Be sure to check both answers via subst. into the original equation.

cluponka [151]

Answer:z=47

Step-by-step explanation:

You're doing this because if you have z-31=16 you have to + 31 to 16 which would give you 47 then that would be a one step equation

z-31=16

you would make a line between the equal sign so it is organized then plus 31 to sixteen then that would get you to 47

Urgent! Please heeeeeeeeeeeeelp
timama [110]

The formula for area of a triangle is: 1/2 x base x height.

You are given the height of 4 and the area of 4.

Replace those in the formula and solve for x ( base)

4 = 1/2 x base x 4

Divide both sides by 4:

1 = 1/2 x base

Multiply both sides by 2:

2 = base

x = 2
