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 one and one fourth times 30
n200080 [17]
1 1/4*30=37.5 because, first to make this easier to work with I like to turn the fraction into a decimal like so, 1/4=.25 because 1/4=.25 so 1/4=.25, so now we have 1.25*30=? What this is pretty much saying is that 30+(25% of 30)=? Which to solve this we just need to find how much 25% is of 30 which is .25*30=7.5 because 7.5*4=30 making it true that this is 25% of 30. Now what we have to do is take 30+7.5 (because we have a 1 infront of the 25% we add this instead of subtract it, if we had no whole number infront of the 30 and where solving this that way we would have to subtract instead of add) which adds up to be are end answer of 37.5.

Hope that this helps and makes sense, Enjoy!=)

Which of the following makes this statement true: x(4 + 3) = 12 + 9?
adoni [48]
Answer: B(3)

Explanation: 12+9=21 so since 4+3 only equals 7, you plug in x as 3... since 7x3 is 21 that helps make the statement true bc both equations are equal.
