Answer:

2. The denominator of the fully simplified expression will be x – 1.

4. The numerator of the fully simplified expression will be –3x + 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rational expression

\dfrac{7x+5}{x-1} -(\dfrac{8x-1}{x-1} +\dfrac{2x-4}{x-1} )

Let us first simplify before making our deductions.

Opening the brackets

\dfrac{7x+5}{x-1} -(\dfrac{8x-1}{x-1} +\dfrac{2x-4}{x-1} )=\dfrac{7x+5}{x-1} -\dfrac{8x-1}{x-1} -\dfrac{2x-4}{x-1}

Taking LCM

=\dfrac{7x+5-(8x-1)-(2x-4)}{x-1}

Opening the brackets and simplifying

=\dfrac{7x+5-8x+1-2x+4}{x-1}\\\text{Collecting like terms in the numerator}\\=\dfrac{7x-8x-2x+5+1+4}{x-1}\\=\dfrac{-3x+10}{x-1}

The following statements are therefore true:

2. The denominator of the fully simplified expression will be x – 1.

4. The numerator of the fully simplified expression will be –3x + 10.

insens350 [35]

Answer: a = 8;  b = 15;  c = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

c = b + 2  and c = 2a + 1

b = c − 2 and a =  \frac{c-1}{2}

​

c² = b² + a²  

c^{2} = (c-2)^{2} + \frac{c-1}{2}\\

c^{2}= \frac{4 (c-2)^{2}+(c - 1)^{2}  }{4}

4c^{2}={4 (c^{2} + 4 -4c)+c ^{2}  + 1-2c

4c^{2}={4 c^{2} + 16 -16c)+c ^{2}  + 1-2c

c^{2}-18c+17=0

c(c -17)-1(c-17)=0

​(c -1)(c-17)=0

c = 1 or c = 17

If c = 1 then b = 1 - 2 = -1, that's not possible

So x = 17

b = 17 - 2 = 15

a = \frac{17-1}{2}  = 8

Length sides of the triangle are 17 cm, 15 cm and 8 cm.

I saw some of this on a site but I want to make sure its correct so we're gonna apply the pythagorean theory and see if its correct.

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} \\8^{2} + 15^{2} = 17^{2} \\64 + 225 = 289\\289 = 289\\

This shows that this is correct.

Hope this helped! Again, some of this was from a site, not from me.

Anyone know how to answer this? Help if u do please!
Inga [223]
A- It will be smaller, because we're finding a part of a number, and it's no more than 100 percent.
B- It would be greater. It's more than 100 percent, which accounts for the whole value, and goes even more.
Hope this helps!
