4/5n – 1/5 = 2/5n
Add 1/5 to both sides
4/5n = 2/5n + 1/5
Subtract 2/5n from both sides
2/5n = 1/5
Divide both sides by 2/5
n = 1/2
Lets solve our radical equation
step by step.
Step 1 add 4 to both sides of the equation:


Step 2 square both sides of the equation:



Step 3 expand the binomial in the right hand side:

Step 4 simplify the expression:


Step 5 factor the expression:

Step 6 solve for each factor:
or 
or 
Now we are going to check both solutions in the original equation to prove if they are valid:
For 


The solution
is a valid solution of the rational equation
.
For 



Since -3 is not equal to -5, the solution
is not a valid solution of the rational equation
; therefore,
is an extraneous solution of the equation.
We can conclude that even all the algebraic procedures of Israel are correct, he did not check for extraneous solutions.
An extraneous solution of an equation is the solution that emerges from the algebraic process of solving the equation but is not a valid solution of the equation. Is worth pointing out that extraneous solutions are particularly frequent in rational equation.
The given pentagon can be divided into two figures : a triangle and rectangle as shown in figure.
Let us find area of each figure separately.
Triangle:
Area of triangle is given by:

where b=base and h=height
Height of triangle :
h=(3x+5)-(2x+1)
h=x+4
Base = 2x-2

Area of triangle= (x-1)(x+4) = x²+3x-4
Area of rectangle:
Area of rectangle is given by:
A=l*b

Area of rectangle = 4x²-2x-2
Area of pentagon = Area of triangle + Area of rectangle
Area of pentagon = x²+3x-4 + 4x²-2x-2
Area of pentagon = 5x²+x-6
If area of pentagon is 42 cm², then solving for x,


Factorising to get x,
x=-3.2 and x=3
If we take x as negative the side will be negative, so we neglect x=-3.2
So x=3 is the answer.

Answer:
51
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule gives the sequence ...
75, 69, 63, 57, 51, 45, ...
The 5th number in the sequence is 51.
__
<em>Alternate solution</em>
The equation for the general term of an arithmetic sequence is ...
an = a1 +d(n -1) . . . . . for first term a1 and common difference d
Your sequence has first term 75 and common difference -6, so the equation is ...
an = 75 -6(n -1)
Then for n=5, the term is ...
a5 = 75 -6(5 -4) = 75 -24 = 51
The 5th term is 51.
