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

Solve the question: 3(.5y-6)=12​
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

y = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute:

3(0.5y)-3(6)=12

1.5y-18=12

Add 18 to both sides:

1.5y-18+18=12+18

1.5y=30

Solve for y:

\frac{1.5y}{1.5}=\frac{30}{1.5}

y=20

Solve the equation: 10 = -4 + x
Sonja [21]
10= -4 + x    x=14 because you do the opposite of the sign you see in this case its a plus sign so you subtract -4 from ten and since the 4 is a negative and your subtracting you would add 4 I know this probably didn't help it sounds really confusing but I have hope that it did :)
