Riley makes a mistake in step 2 while doing her homework. What was her mistake? StartFraction x Over x squared minus 5 x + 6 End

Fraction + StartFraction x Over x + 3 EndFraction Step 1: StartFraction x Over (x minus 2)(x minus 3) EndFraction + StartFraction 3 Over x + 3 EndFraction Step 2: StartFraction x Over (x minus 2) (x + 3) EndFraction + 3 (x minus 2) Over (x minus 2) (x + 3) EndFraction Step 3: StartFraction x + 3 x minus 6 Over (x minus 2) (x + 3) EndFraction Step 4: StartFraction 4 x minus 6 Over (x minus 2) (x + 3) EndFraction She added the two fractions incorrectly. She used the wrong common denominator. She did not distribute the negative correctly. She did not multiply the first fraction by a factor.

Answer:

The answer is:

She used the wrong common denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the given equation

\frac{x}{x^2-5x+6}+\frac{x}{x+3}\\\\Step 1: \frac{x}{(x-2)(x-3)}+\frac{x}{x+3}\\Step2: \frac{x}{(x-2)(x-3)}+\frac{x(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+3)}\\Step3:\frac{x(x+3)+x(x-2)(x+3)}{(x-2)(x-3)(x+3)}

Lets consider the steps given in the question:

Step2: \frac{x}{(x-2)(x+3)}+\frac{3(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+3)}

Step3: \frac{x+3(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+3)}\\

Lets compare both solutions:

In the original solution, the denominator of first term is (x-2)(x-3)

In the solution given in the question, the denominator of first term is (x-2)(x+3).

So the mistake she did in step 2 was that she change the sign of 3 in (x-3) from negative to positive, due to which she gets the wrong common denominator shown in Step 3.

Find the values of x,y, and z. The diagram is not to scale.
vazorg [7]
All the angles must add to 180degrees in a triangle.

180 = 59 + 35 + x
180 = 94 + x
86 = x

Supplementary angles x and z add to 180
180 = x + z
180 = 86 + z
94 = z

Now the last triangle is with angles 11, z, and y
they must add to 180 so...
180 = 11 + z + y
180 = 11 + 94 + y
180 = 105 + y
75 = y

Hope this helps!
