The computer cost is $3000

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • The ratio of the price of a tv to the price of a computer is 13 : 15
  • The tv 400 dollars cheaper than the computer

We need to find the cost of the computer

Assume that the price of the computer is $x

∵ The ratio between the prices of the tv and the computer is 13 : 15

∵ The price of the computer is $x

∵ The price of the tv 400 dollars cheaper than the computer

- That means the price of the tv is less than the price of the

  computer by $400

∴ The price of the tv is $(x - 400)

By using the ratio method

→  tv              :    computer

→  13              :    15

→  (x - 400)   :    x

By using the cross multiplication

∴ 15(x - 400) = 13(x)

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 15x - 6000 = 13x

- Add 6000 to both sides

∴ 15x = 13x + 6000

- Subtract 13x from both sides

∴ 2x = 6000

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 3000

The computer cost is $3000

PLEASE HELP (30 POINTS) Solve the rational equation x/3 = x^2/x + 5 , and check for extraneous solutions.
anygoal [31]

Option C: x=0 and x=\frac{5}{2} are the solutions.

Explanation:

The equation is \frac{x}{3} =\frac{x^{2} }{x+5}

We shall determine the value of x, by simplifying the equation.

$\begin{aligned} x(x+5) &=3 x^{2} \\ x^{2}+5 x &=3 x^{2} \\ 2 x^{2}-5 x &=0 \\ x(2 x-5) &=0 \end{aligned}$

Thus, x=0 and x=\frac{5}{2} are the solutions.

Now, let us check whether the solutions are extraneous solutions.

Let us substitute x=0 in the original equation to check whether both sides of the equation are equal.

\begin{aligned}&\frac{0}{3}=\frac{0^{2}}{0+5}\\&0=\frac{0}{5}\\&0=0\end{aligned}

Thus, both sides of the equation are equal.

Hence x=0 is a true solution.

Now, Let us substitute x=\frac{5}{2} in the original equation to check whether both sides of the equation are equal.

\begin{aligned}\frac{\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)}{3} &=\frac{\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^{2}}{\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)+5} \\\frac{5}{6} &=\frac{\left(\frac{25}{4}\right)}{\left(\frac{15}{2}\right)} \\\frac{5}{6} &=\frac{5}{6}\end{aligned}

Thus, both sides of the equation are equal.

Hence, x=\frac{5}{2} is a true solution.

Thus, solutions are not extraneous.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

If y=5x+6, then what is x in terms of y?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

x=y/5+6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Add  6  to both sides of the equation.

5 x = y + 6

Divide each term by  5  and simplify.

x = y /5 + 6 /5
