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}

Doesn’t apply because tan is TOA meaning opposite/adjacent so what happens is that your numbers 17 and 20 are divided nowhere having to do with a square root

Hello, I'm Eric. I'll be trying my best to assist you on your question today.

0.12 is 12 percent.

We also have the 0.06 percent which would just be 6 percent

We need to add up those percentages to get 18 percent, for the people surveyed that cannot swim would be 18 percent.  

Our final answer is D.

PLEASeeeee helppp.Anyone someon​

Answer:

32 (degrees)

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles AED and ACB share a common angle A.

Two of the corresponding sides have the same ratio: AB=AD+DB=2AD, AC=AE+EC=2AE

Therefore the triangles are similar.

Therefore the corresponding angles are congruent, in particular

∠AED ≅ ∠ACB

∠ECF is just another name for ∠ACB

∠AED ≅ ∠ECF

So their measures must be the same,

m∠AED = m∠ECF = 32°
