Multiply entire equation by (x-2)(x+1) to get rid of the denominators That would lead to X(x+1)+(x-1)(x-2)=-1(x-2)(x+1)
Finally, using distributive property and foil, you would get x^2+x+x^2-3x+2=(-x^2+x+2).2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+23x^2-3x=0
3x(x-1)x=0 and x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
there must be something wrong with your text.
what we can see is
3.8 × 105
and
1.9 × 1022
the true answer for these values has nothing to do with the 4 answer options.
maybe you meant
1.9 × 10.5 ?
because that answer would be 20.
but first working with the presented numbers :
3.8 × 105 = 399
1.9 × 1022 = 1941.8
so, the second number is actually much bigger than the first number.
but if it is
1.9 × 10.5 = 19.95
that works.
and we can either use the calculator to calculate
399 / 19.95 = 20
or we can simply look at the factor changes of the multiplication terms.
3.8 = 1.9 × 2
105 = 10.5 × 10
so, the multiplication product of the two larger numbers is then 2×10=20 times larger than the product of the 2 smaller numbers.
Answer: 37.5%
Explanation:
Percentage is defined as parts of an amount in 100 parts of a basis. This must be stated mathamatically for better understanding and for calculations. It is the ratio:
% = (parts / base) × 100.
In this case you need to express the amount of butter as a part in 100 parts of all purpose flour, which, using the above definition, is:
% butter = (0.75 pounds of butter / 2 pound of flour) × 100
% butter = 0.75 × 100 / 2 = 75 / 2 = 37.5
The answer is expressed as 37.5%.
