Solve for x.

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

\boxed{x=5},x=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

To rid the denominators, multiply both sides by (x-3)(x+1).

We get:

6(x+1)-12(x-3)=(x-3)(x+1)

Simplifying, we have:

6x+6-12x+36=x^2-3x+x-3,\\-6x+42=x^2-2x-3,\\x^2+4x-45=0

Solving, we get:

x^2+4x-45=0,\\(x-5)(x+9)=0,\\x=5,x=-9

Therefore, the solution with the greatest value is x=\boxed{5}

A photograph is 3 in. longer than it is wide. When a 2-in. border is placed around the photograph, the total area of the photogr
Vsevolod [243]

width = 7

length = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for the one letter that gets talked about the most

which is w or width

width = w

length = 3 + w

2 inch border means

width = w + 2

length = 3 + w + 2

area = length times width

area = ( 3 + w + 2 ) times (w + 2 )

108 = ( 3 + w + 2 ) times (w + 2 )

108 = ( w + 5 ) times (w + 2 )

( w + 5 ) times (w + 2 ) = 108

w^2 + 7w +10 = 108

w^2 + 7w - 98 = 0

going to make w = x

x^2+7x-98=0

(x-7)(x+14)

x = 7

x = -14

w=7

w= -14

cant have a negative measurement so w=7 is used

width = w

length = 3 + w

width = 7

length = 3 + 7 = 10

Will give Brainlest Answer please answer i need help
Rashid [163]

Answer:

  C.  {-1, 5, 8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use each of the domain values in the function to see what the corresponding range value is.

  f(-1) = 5 -3(-1) = 8

  f(0) = 5 -3(0) = 5

  f(2) = 5 -3(2) = -1

The range is the set of numbers {-1, 5, 8}.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The values in a set are generally listed lowest to highest. The coefficient of x in the equation for f(x) is negative, meaning the lowest range value will correspond to the highest domain value. If you start by finding f(2) = -1, you immediately eliminate all answer choices except B and C.

Those choices differ only in the middle value, so you can tell which is correct by evaluating f(x) for the middle domain value: f(0) = 5. Only one answer choice has both -1 and 5 in the set.

(There are two answers here: how you work the problem, and how you game a multiple choice question.)
