Answer:

(x + 3)/(x + 1) .

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 3x/(2x + 3)(x - 2) - 6 /x^2 - x - 2

= 2x^2 + 3x/(2x + 3)(x - 2) - 6 / (x - 2)(x + 1)

The LCM is (2x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 1) so we have

(2x^2 + 3x)(x + 1) - 6(2x + 3) x( 2x + 3)(x + 1) - 6(2x + 3)

--------------------------------------- = ------------------------------------

(2x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 1) (2x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 1)

(2x + 3)(x(x + 1) - 6) (2x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 3)

= ---------------------------- = --------------------------- = (x + 3)/(x + 1)

(2x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 1) (2x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 1)

X^4-x^2-42=0 <br>need to solve equation and find solution set

Ipatiy [6.2K]

That's a quadratic equation in $x^2$ , which means we get an extra square root and $\pm$ at the end.

$x^4 - x^2 - 42 = 0$

We factor,

$(x^2 - 7)(x^2+6) = 0$

$x^2 = 7 \quad \textrm{or} \quad x^2 = -6$

$x = \pm \sqrt{7} \quad \textrm{or} \quad x = \pm i \sqrt{6}$

9. Solve the system of equations using substitution.<br>y = 2x - 10<br>y = 4x - 8

krok68 [10]

Since they’re both in standard form and they both say that y is equal to something, you just have to set them up with one another
2x-10=4x-8
Subtract 2x
-10=2x-8
Add 8
-2=2x
Divide by 2
-1=x
x=-1
Check it by inserting it
2(-1)-10=4(-1)-8
-2-10=-4-8
-12=-12
So x=-1 is the answer
