Answer:

{-1/4, 1}
{3/4, 6}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We can clear fractions and solve the resulting quadratic. We clear fractions by multiplying the equation by the product of the denominators.

$\dfrac{2x+1}{2x-1}-\dfrac{2x-1}{2x+1}=\dfrac{8}{3}\\\\3((2x+1)^2-(2x-1)^2)=8(2x-1)(2x+1)\\\\3(8x) = 8(4x^2 -1)\\\\4x^2 -3x -1 = 0\qquad\text{factor out 8, subtract 3x}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(4)(-1)}}{2(4)}=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{25}}{8}\\\\x=\dfrac{3\pm5}{8}=\left\{-\dfrac{1}{4},1\right\}$

2. Using the same idea here, we get ...

$\dfrac{2}{x-2}+\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{9}{x+3}\\\\2(x)(x+3)+3(x-2)(x+3)=9(x-2)(x)\\\\2x^2+6x+3(x^2+x-6)=9x^2-18x\\\\4x^2-27x+18=0\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-27)\pm\sqrt{(-27)^2-4(4)(18)}}{2(4)}=\dfrac{27\pm\sqrt{441}}{8}\\\\x=\dfrac{27\pm21}{8}=\left\{\dfrac{3}{4},6\right\}$

Exit A five-sided solid has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. What is the probability of rolling two five-sided number solids and g

STALIN [3.7K]

To get a sum of 3, you must roll a 1 and a 2. To get a sum of 8, you must roll a 5 and 3, or two 4's.
There are two ways of rolling a 1 and a 2, two ways of rolling a 5 and a 3, and one way to roll two 4's.
There are $5^2=25$ possible outcomes when rolling two such solids.

So the probability of getting a sum of 3 or 8 is $\dfrac{2+2+1}{25}=\dfrac15$

B because if the circle has a radius of x2 the 1/2 of that would be a+c bringing in c to become abc or a+b+c
