The only thing you need to do is 'cross-multiply'
Take the top of fraction 1 and multiply it to the bottom of fraction 2, and take the bottom of fraction 1 and multiply it to the top of fraction 2.
Then you will get a nice and easy equation to solve!
Answer:
-14
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, we know that 5x^2+ ax+7x +5=0 only has one root. That means that b^2 - 4ac=0, and we can use this to find the discriminant, ax + 7x.
Now, if we simplified 5x^2+ ax+7x +5=0, by dividing it all by 5, it would be x^2+(a+7)/5x + 1 = 0.
After, we can plug what we know into the formula, b^2 - 4ac=0. It would be:
(a+7)^2 / 25 - 4 = 0
(a+7)^2 / 25 = 4
(a+7)^2 = 100
Since this is a square root, a+7 can be both negative or positive.
a+7= 10, or a+7 = -10
a=3, or a=-17
The question asks for the sum of a, which is 3 + (-17) = -14
Therefore, the answer is -14.

Answer:
Height should be ≤ 9 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Frank is making a pennant in the shape of a triangle for his senior class photo.
Base of triangle = 6 in
Area of triangle ≤ 27 
Let height of the triangle be h
Now we now that,
Area of triangle = 
Hence the height of the triangle must be at most or ≤ 9 inches.
Answer:
answer a
Step-by-step explanation:
< 
- Let's isolate
on one side of the equation. Ignore the inequality for now. We'll deal with that later.
- Now, I'm going to bring back the inequality or < symbol. I only removed it when simplifying and isolating , but if this confuses you, just do your math and keep the inequality there.
< 
- On a number line, this would include every number <em>less than </em>, due to the < (less than) symbol. This disqualifies answers b and d because they are showing every number <em>greater than </em>. But, how do we decide between answers a and c?
- If a line has point at its beginning, , then that means that every number <em>less than or equal to</em> [ ≤ ] 6 is being shown, but our equation just says <em>less than </em>[ < ] 6, so answer a is our correct answer.
