_______________


Solve the equation:

\mathsf{\dfrac{8}{x-5}-\dfrac{9}{x-4}=\dfrac{5}{x^2-9x+20}\qquad\qquad(x\ne 5~and~x\ne 4)}


Reduce the fractions at the left side so that they have the same denominator:

\mathsf{\dfrac{8(x-4)}{(x-5)(x-4)}-\dfrac{9(x-5)}{(x-4)(x-5)}=\dfrac{5}{x^2-9x+20}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{8x-32}{x^2-4x-5x+20}-\dfrac{9x-45}{x^2-4x-5x+20}=\dfrac{5}{x^2-9x+20}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{8x-32}{x^2-9x+20}-\dfrac{9x-45}{x^2-9x+20}=\dfrac{5}{x^2-9x+20}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{8x-32-(9x-45)}{x^2-9x+20}=\dfrac{5}{x^2-9x+20}}


Numerators must be equal:

\mathsf{8x-32-(9x-45)=5}\\\\
\mathsf{8x-32-9x+45=5}\\\\
\mathsf{8x-9x=5+32-45}\\\\
\mathsf{-x=-8}\\\\
\mathsf{x=8}\quad\longleftarrow\quad\textsf{this is the solution.}


I hope this helps. =)

A store charges 6% VAT on all sales.<br>What is the total cost of a shirt marked at $30​
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

$31.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the 6% tax is separate from the $30, we can use this equation:

Total = Cost + Tax  (pretty self explanatory)

Method 1

Total = $30 + (6% * $30)

Total = $30 + $1.8

Total = $31.8

Method 2

Total = $30 * 1.06          (The 1 is the original cost, the .06 is the 6% tax)

Total = $31.8

I REALLY NEED HELP WORTH 10 POINTS URGENT!!!!!
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

(f\circ g)(4)=31

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Composite Function</u>

Given f(x) and g(x) real functions, the composite function named fog(x) is defined as:

(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))

For practical purposes, it can be found by substituting g into f.

We have:

f(x)=3x+1

g(x)=x^2-6

Computing the composite function:

(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))=3(x^2-6)+1

Operating:

(f\circ g)(x)=3x^2-18+1

Operating:

(f\circ g)(x)=3x^2-17

Now evaluate for x=4

(f\circ g)(4)=3(4)^2-17=48-17

\boxed{(f\circ g)(4)=31}

Convert each equation to standard form y-5=-3(x+2)​
ale4655 [162]

You said each equation but only posted one.

The standard form takes the place of

Ax + By = C.

y-5 = -3(x+2)​

y - 5 = -3x - 6

y = -3x - 6 + 5

3x + y = -1

Done.
