Answer:

B.) {-16,1}

Step-by-step explanation:

First let us combine like terms so let us move the -4/x to the right side:

\frac{x-11}{x+4}=2-\frac{4}{x}

\frac{x-11}{x+4} +\frac{4}{x}=2

Let us find a common denominator for the left side by using : \frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad+bc}{bd} and so:

\frac{x(x-11)+4(x+4)}{x(x+4)} = 2\\ \\\frac{x^2-11x+4x+16}{x^2+4x}=2\\

Now lets get rid of that fraction by multiplying both sides by x^2+4x and we obtain:

x^2-7x+16=2(x^2+4x)\\\\x^2-7x+16=2x^2+8x

I'm going to move everything on the left side to the right by: -(x^2-7x+16) and so:

0=2x^2+8x-x^2+7x-16\\\\0=x^2+15x-16

Now let's factor.  We can factor by multiplying outer coefficients, so 1 x -16 = -16.  Now let's list all the factors of 16:  1×16,8×2,4×4.  From these factors try to find two that if you add or subtract them they will return the middle term of 15.  So, 16 - 1  = 15.  Therefore,

0=x^2+15x-16\\\\0=x^2+16x-x-16\\\\0=x(x+16)-(x+16)\\0=(x-1)(x+16)

Now lets solve for both cases:

Case 1:

x-1=0

x=1

Case 2:

x+16=0

x=-16

and so your solutions are:

x={1,-16} or x={-16,1}

How to use the Pythagorean theorem to provee if a triangle with the side lengths 7,14,28 is a right triangle. Plz help
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the Pythagorean theorem to prove if a triangle with the side lengths 7,14,28 is a right triangle, you will square 7 and add it to the square of 14. The square root of the sum will be equal to 28 if it is a right angle triangle. Otherwise, it is not.

(7^2 + 14^2) = 49 + 196

245

Find the square root of 245

Square root = 15.65

Since it is not 24, the triangle is not a right angle triangle.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

$41.9

Step-by-step explanation:

divide $62.85 and get 20.95 which is 1/3 of it so then you just subtract $20.95 from $62.85 and get 41.9
