“HOT PIZZA” is offering a 20% discount on all its pizzas

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

p = £7.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the original price by p. Then 0.80p = £5.60, or p = £7.00.

If a price is discounted by 20%, the discounted price is (1 - 0.20), or 0.80, times the original price.

Find all solutions to the equation. -\dfrac{2}{x(x+2)}=\dfrac{x+3}{x+2}− x(x+2) 2 = x+2 x+3 minus, start fraction, 2, divide

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

$x=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $\frac{-2}{x(x+2)}=\frac{x+3}{x+2}$ . We are asked to find the solutions of our given equation.

First of all, we will cross multiply our given equation as:

$-2(x+2)=x(x+2)(x+3)$

Subtract $x(x+2)(x+3)$ from both sides:

$-2(x+2)-x(x+2)(x+3)=x(x+2)(x+3)-x(x+2)(x+3)$

$-2(x+2)-x(x+2)(x+3)=0$

Now we will factor out $(x+2)$ .

$(x+2)(-2-x(x+3))=0$

$(x+2)(-2-x^2-3x)=0$

$(x+2)(-(x^2+3x+2))=0$

Now we will factor by splitting the middle term.

$-(x+2)(x^2+2x+x+2)=0$

$-(x+2)(x+2)(x+1)=0$

$-(x+2)^2(x+1)=0$

Now we will use zero product property and solve for x as:

$-(x+2)^2=0,(x+1)=0$

$(x+2)=0,(x+1)=0$

$x=-2,x=-1$

Now, we will check for extraneous solutions.

We can see that $x=-2$ will make both denominators zero because our function is not defined at $x=-2$ .

Therefore, the solution for our given equation is $x=-1$ .
