Only problem is with the simplifying.
We all know that 5/5 = 1, it is natural to assume (x+a)/(x+a) is also 1, but in some cases where x+a=0, it is undefined. In this equation, where they simplify (x-2) and (x-6), you must say that x is not 2 nor 6 or, you just delete 0/0 which is undefined.
Therefore the only solution would be x=-1
Answer:
each pack costs 2.5, she bought x packs
x=2+4+3=9
she bought 9 packs
so 2.5 times 9=22.50
she spend $22.50
Answer:
1/6feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Point A on the island = -7/3 feet from the sea surface
Point B on the island = -5/2 from the sea surface
The distance between the two points will be Point A - Point B
Distance between the two points = -7/3 - (-5/2)
= -7/3+5/2
Find the LCM
= {2(-7)+3(5)}/6
= -14+15/6
= 1/6
Hence the distance of the two points from the surface of the sea is 1/6feet
