6-5 solving rational equations 8/x+3=1/x+1

Mathematics
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = -5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

8/(x+3)=1/(x+1)

Using cross products

8*(x+1) = 1*(x+3)

Distribute

8x+8 = x+3

Subtract x from each side

8x-x +8 = x+3-x

7x +8 =3

Subtract 8 from each side

7x+8-8 = 3-8

7x = -5

Divide by 7

7x/7 = -5/7

x = -5/7

The answer and how to do it.
Kruka [31]

let x = orginal price of the shorts

$21 = x(100%-20%) * 1.05

$21 = x(80%) * 1.05

$21 = 0.8x * 1.05

Subtract 1.05 from both sides

$19.95 = 0.8x

Divide 0.8 from both sides

$24.9375 = x

So the orginal price of the shorts are about $24.94
