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.

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!
