Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two simultaneous equations.

(1) y = 2x + 50

(2) y = 4.5x

1. Subtract (1) from (2)

0 = 2.5x - 50

2. Add 50 to each side

2.5x = 50

3. Divide each side by 2.5

x = 20

$\bf \cfrac{3x}{x^2-3x-10}-\cfrac{6x}{x^2-7x+10}\implies \cfrac{3x}{(x-5)(x+2)}-\cfrac{6x}{(x-5)(x-2)}
\\\\\\
\textit{our LCD is clearly then }(x-5)(x+2)(x-2)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{(x-2)3x~~-~~[(x+2)6x]}{(x-5)(x+2)(x-2)}\implies \cfrac{3x^2-6x~~-~~[6x^2+12x]}{(x-5)(x+2)(x-2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3x^2-6x-6x^2-12x}{(x-5)(x+2)(x-2)}\implies \cfrac{-3x^2-18x}{(x-5)(x+2)(x-2)}$
