The equation 5/2 - x + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0 is a quadratic equation
The value of x is 8 or 1
<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>
The equation is given as:
5/2 - x + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0
Rewrite as:
-5/x - 2 + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0
Take the LCM
[-5(x + 2) + (x -5)(x- 2)]\[x^2 - 4 + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4] = 0
Expand
[-5x - 10 + x^2 - 7x + 10]/[x^2 - 4] + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4] = 0
Evaluate the like terms
[x^2 - 12x]/[x^2 - 4] + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4 = 0
Multiply through by x^2 - 4
x^2 - 12x+ 3x + 8 = 0
Evaluate the like terms
x^2 -9x + 8 = 0
Expand
x^2 -x - 8x + 8 = 0
Factorize
x(x -1) - 8(x - 1) = 0
Factor out x - 1
(x -8)(x - 1) = 0
Solve for x
x = 8 or x = 1
Hence, the value of x is 8 or 1

You may find it easiest if you convert all the fractions to decimal form:
5.433...
5.166...
5.756
Now reorder these from smallest to largest.
Note: I had to guess that by "68,90," you actually meant "68/90."
Answer:
B. 1 over 8
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the probability of the spinner landing on 5, we need to first know what probability is,
probability = required outcome/all possible outcome
since the spinner is divided into 8 equal sections and each section contains number from 1-8, this implies there are total of 64 numbers on the spinner. This implies that all possible outcome = 64
In each section there is 5, since there are 8 sections on the spinner, the number of 5's on the spinner are 8.
This implies that the required outcome = 8
but
probability = required outcome/all possible outcome
probability (of the spinner landing on 5) = 8/64 =1/8
Answer:
The number is 523
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The question is English is</em></u>
Number 289 less than 812
Let
x ----> the number
To find out the number subtract 289 from 812
so
therefore
The number is 523
