Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You solve this problem by subtracting 3 from 10 because you have to solve it inversely. After doing this you get 7. Since that is 1/2 a number the number is 14

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number x.

$\dfrac{x}{2}+3=10$

Subtract 3 from both sides:

$\dfrac{x}{2}=7$

Multiply both sides by 2:

$x=14$

Hope this helps!

Answer:

a. y = 3/2x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is y = mx + b

Which shows the expression x^2-1/x^2-x in simplest form

____ [38]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{x+1}{x}=1+\dfrac{1}{x}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x^2-1}{x^2-x}=(*)\\\\x^2-1=x^2-1^2\qquad\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\=(x-1)(x+1)\\\\x^2-x=(x)(x)-(x)(1)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\=x(x-1)\\\\(*)=\dfrac{(x-1)(x+1)}{x(x-1)}\qquad\text{cancel}\ (x-1)\\\\=\dfrac{x+1}{x}=\dfrac{x}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}=1+\dfrac{1}{x}$
