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.

Alternate interior angle with the combines values of 49 and 3x so they  are equal

What x and y equal to
Papessa [141]

Answer:

X = 4, Y = 3.

Explanation:

Since the length of side CK is equal to the length of WM, then you can make the equation 6y-4 = 18. then you just add 4 to each side and divide both sides by six to get 3. Same thing for the other equation. Angle (i think its an angle due to its placement) C is equal to angle M, so you can make the equation 3x + 7 = 19. Subtract seven from both sides then divide by 3 to get 4. Tell me if you have any questions :)
