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}

What is the slope intercept form of this equation 6x+4y=8
hodyreva [135]

The slope intercept form is first y = mx + b, and once you use algebraic to get that you'd find that the slope intercept form of that equation is y = -3/2x + 2.

I'm shipping and handling fee of $35 is charged to all furniture orders over $250. If the order is $437.50 what percent is the s
Mashcka [7]

Answer: the shipping and handling fee is 8 percent of the cost of the order.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shipping and handling fee of $35 is charged to all furniture orders over $250.

If the order is $437.50, it means that there would be a handing and shipping fee of $35 because the price of the order is above $250.

The percentage of the original price of the order that is the shipping and handling fee would be

35/437.5 × 100 = 0.08 × 100

= 8%
