12

So,
r+ -12+ 12 = 19+ 12
r+ 0 = 31
R=31

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Then the -12 and +12 will cancel out, so you're left with a clean isolated r on the left:

r -12 +12 = 19 + 12

r = 31

A table saw is on clearance for 20% off. If the sale price of the table saw is $380, what was the original price? Justify your s

Nikolay [14]

20% off means it is selling for 80% of the original price ( 100% - 20% =80%)

Divide the sale price by 80% as a decimal:

380/0.80 = 475

The original price was $475

Justify:

Multiply the original price by 20% and subtract:

475 x 0.20 = 95

475-95 = $380 which is the sale price.

Two problems here I need solved! I need every step, so please have that with your answers!!

QUESTION 1

We want to solve,

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-6x+8}$

We factor the denominator of the fraction on the right hand side to get,

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-4x - 2x+8}.$

This implies
$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x(x-4) - 2(x - 4)}.$

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{(x-4)(x - 2)}$

We multiply through by LCM of
$(x-4)(x - 2)$

$(x - 2) + x(x-4) = 2$

We expand to get,

$x - 2 + {x}^{2} - 4x= 2$

We group like terms and equate everything to zero,

${x}^{2} + x - 4x - 2 - 2 = 0$

We split the middle term,

${x}^{2} + - 3x - 4 = 0$

We factor to get,

${x}^{2} + x - 4x- 4 = 0$

$x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1) = 0$

$(x + 1)(x - 4) = 0$

$x + 1 = 0 \: or \: x - 4 = 0$

$x = - 1 \: or \: x = 4$

But
$x = 4$
is not in the domain of the given equation.

It is an extraneous solution.

$\therefore \: x = - 1$
is the only solution.

QUESTION 2

$\sqrt{x+11} -x=-1$

We add x to both sides,

$\sqrt{x+11} =x-1$

We square both sides,

$x + 11 = (x - 1)^{2}$

We expand to get,

$x + 11 = {x}^{2} - 2x + 1$

This implies,

${x}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0$

We solve this quadratic equation by factorization,

${x}^{2} - 5x + 2x - 10 = 0$

$x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0$

$(x + 2)(x - 5) = 0$

$x + 2 = 0 \: or \: x - 5 = 0$

$x = - 2 \: or \: x = 5$

But
$x = - 2$
is an extraneous solution

$\therefore \: x = 5$
