8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number.

2n+3 . . . . "doubled, then increased by 30"

3n -5 . . . . "five less than three times the number"

These two results are equal, so we have ...

2n +3 = 3n -5

8 = n . . . . . . . . . . add 5-2n

The number is 8.

How would I solve this Rational Equation? <br><br>Solve for all values of x.

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to put these in the form f(x) = 0. We can do that by subtracting the right side. Common factors can be cancelled from numerator and denominator, provided they are not zero.

$\dfrac{7}{x+3}+\dfrac{3}{x-3}-\dfrac{x}{x-3}=0\\\\ \dfrac{7(x-3)+(x+3)(3-x)}{(x+3)(x-3)}=0\\\\\dfrac{(x-3)(4-x)}{(x-3)(x+3)}=0\\\\ \dfrac{4-x}{x+3}=0\qquad x\ne3\\\\x=4 \qquad\text{equate the numerator to zero, add $x$}$

_____

If you leave the numerator as (x-3)(4-x), then there are two values of x that make it zero. Because x=3 makes the equation "undefined", it cannot be considered to be a solution.
