Do it by splitting middle term.
Then you will be able to get factors . You can learn how to split middle term by searching videos on you tube or any site.
The correct answer would be B.)
Multiplying -5x-7= 35
Multiplying two negative numbers gives you a positive
I would say it’s b
You can cross cancel (x-3) out of both fractions
Then you have x+2/ x times 3/4
Multiply the numerators
3(x+2)
And the denominators
x • 4 = 4x
Leaving you with 3(x+2)/4x
You can simplify it further into 3x+ 6/ 4x which is option b, though it is technically simplified with the parentheses.
Answer:
5 or 6
Step-by-step explanation:
So I did it in a different way than shown in rsm classes. I said that the speed was x-2 and x.
then I said the distance was 6 and 15. If the time taken was 1 hour more, then we can come up with this equation:
Since the time is 6/x-2 or 15/x
15/x-6/x-2=1
multiply everything to get a common denominator then cancel it out to get
(15x-30)-6x=x^2-2x
11x-30=x^2
x^2-11x+30=0
(x-5)(x-6) is factored form.
so x=5 or x=6. this means that the speed of the boat is either 5km/h or 6 km/h
