Answer:

The answer is

y = 3

y =  - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We must find a solution where

\frac{6}{y + 1}  +  \frac{y}{y - 2}  =  \frac{6}{y + 1}  \times  \frac{y}{y - 2}

Consider the Left Side:

First, to add fraction multiply each fraction on the left by it corresponding denomiator and we should get

\frac{6}{y + 1}  \times  \frac{y - 2}{y - 2}  +  \frac{y}{y - 2}  \times  \frac{y + 1}{y + 1}

Which equals

\frac{6y - 12}{(y -2) (y + 1)}  +  \frac{ {y}^{2} + y }{(y - 2)(y + 1)}

Add the fractions

\frac{y {}^{2} + 7y - 12 }{(y - 2)(y + 1)}  =  \frac{6}{y + 1}  \times  \frac{y}{y - 2}

Simplify the right side by multiplying the fraction

\frac{6y}{(y  + 1)(y + 2)}

Set both fractions equal to each other

\frac{6y}{(y + 1)(y - 2)}  =  \frac{ {y}^{2} + 7y - 12}{(y + 1)(y - 2)}

Since the denomiator are equal, we must set the numerator equal to each other

6y =  {y}^{2}  + 7y - 12

=  {y}^{2}  + y - 12

(y  + 4)(y - 3)

y =  - 4

y = 3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{6}{y+1}+\frac{y}{y-2}=\frac{6}{y+1} \times \frac{y}{y-2} \\multiply ~by~(y+1)(y-2)\\6(y-2)+y(y+1)=6y\\6y-12+y^2+y=6y\\y^2+y-12=0\\y^2+4y-3y-12=0\\y(y+4)-3(y+4)=0\\(y+4)(y-3)=0\\y=-4,3

Help i dont understand Pls help :(
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

x = 1?

Step-by-step explanation:

I think functions are basically just variables but extra so they both act the same. I'm not 100% sure but I Think

if f(x) = -5x + 1 when f(x) = 6,

replace f(x) with 6 so,

6 = 5x + 1

1 - 6 = 5x + 1 - 1

(subtract one on both sides to isolate the variable)

5 = 5x

5/5 = 5x/5

(to Actually isolate the variable lol

1 = x or x = 1

I believe is the answer? please comment if I'm wrong

*I WAS TOLD MY THOUGHT PROCESS IS WRONG ANYONE WHO SEES THIS PLEASE DISREGARD

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: 2.2214

Step-by-step explanation:

0.07 x 39.98 = 2.7986 (is tax)

2.7986 + 39.98 = 42.7786

45.00 - 42.7786 = 2.2214

What is the gravity of a location if the mass of an object is 300 kg and it has a weight of 450N ?
kozerog [31]

The gravity is 1.5m\s^2

Further explanation:

The weight of any object is given by the product of mass and gravity of the object

Let

m denote the mass of object

g be the gravity

and

w be the weight

Then the statement can be mathematically written as:

w=m*g

Given

m=300kg

w=450N

Putting the values of m and w into the formula

450=g*300\\g= \frac{450}{300}\\g=1.5\ ms^{-2}

The gravity is 1.5m\s^2

Keywords: Mass, Gravity
