Answer:
-(x+2)/(x+8)
Step-by-step explanation:
( x^2 -x-6)
------------------
24 - 5x -x^2
Factor out a minus sign from the denominator
( x^2 -x-6)
------------------
-( x^2 +5x -24)
Factor the numerators and the denominators
( x-3) (x+2)
------------------
-( x+8)(x-3)
Cancel like terms
x+2
------------------
-(x+8)
Hi!
Our goal is to isolate x on one side by doing the same operation on both sides.
First let's use the distribution property.
-2 x 6 = -12
-2 x 3 = -6
-12x - 6 = -27 - 5x
Add 6 to both sides
-12x - 6 + 6 = -27 + 6 - 5x
-12x = -21 - 5x
Add 5x to both sides
-12x + 5x = -21 - 5x + 5x
-7x = -21
Divide by -7 on both sides
-7x/-7 = -21/-7
x = 3
The answer is x = 3
Hope this helps! :)
Let
be the identity matrix. Then pick whatever matrix you like for
.
x-0.1x=36
where x is the original price
0.1x is the discount (10% of the original price)
36 is the price paid
x-0.1x=36
0.9x=36
----- ----
0.9 0.9
x=40
The original price is $40.00
