-(3x - 2) = -4(x + 1) - 4
-3x + 2 = -4x - 4 - 4
-3x + 4x = -4 -4 - 2
x = -10 answer
Both expression have the same denominator: 9x²-1. Thus it must not be 0.
9x²-1=(3x-1)(3x+1)=0, resulting x=+-1/3.
Restrictions: x in R\{-1/3, 1/3}
Adding those expressions:
E=(-x-2)/(9x²-1 ) + (-5x+4)/(9x²-1)=
(-x-2-5x+4)/(9x²-1)=(-6x+2)/(9x²-1)=
(-2)(3x-1)/(9x²-1)=-2/(3x+1)
E=-2/(3x+1)
Answer:
i believe i have to multiply and i got 4 4/5
so 4 FULL servings and 4/5 cereal servings left over
Answer:
Let's define the variables:
M = mother's age
D = daughter's age.
"a mother is twice as old as her daughter"
This can be written as:
M = 2*D
"5 years from now she will be thrice as old as her daughter"
(M + 5) = 3*D
We want to know how old is the mother five years from now.
First, our equations are:
M = 2*D
(M + 5) = 3*D
First, we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, because for the solution we want the mother's age, we should isolate the daughter's age.
Let's isolate D in the first equation:
M/2 = D
Now we can replace this in the other equation:
Now we can replace this on the other equation:
(M + 5) = 3*(M/2)
M + 5 - (3/2)*M = 0
-(1/2)*M + 5 = 0
5 = (1/2)*M
2*5 = M = 10
So the mother is 10 years old (this hasn't a lot of sense, maybe there is a wrong number on the question)
and 5 years from now, the mother will be:
10 + 5 = 15 years old.
