Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

When given the following equation;

\frac{x+3}{3x-2}-\frac{x-3}{3x+2}=\frac{44}{9x^2-4}

One has to solve for the variable (x). Remember, when working with fractions, one must have a common denominator in order to perform operations. Since the denominators on the left side of the equation are unlike, one must change them so that they are like denominators. Multiply each fraction by the other fraction's denominator on the respective side. Remember to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the value to ensure that the equation remains true.

=\frac{x+3}{3x-2}*(\frac{3x+2}{3x+2})-\frac{x-3}{3x+2}*(\frac{3x-2}{3x-2})=\frac{44}{9x^2-4}

Simplify,

=\frac{(x+3)(3x+2)}{(3x-2)(3x+2)}-\frac{(x-3)(3x-2)}{(3x+2)(3x-2)}=\frac{44}{9x^2-4}\\\\=\frac{3x^2+11x+6}{9x^2-4}-\frac{3x^2-11x+6}{9x^2-4}=\frac{44}{9x^2-4}

Distribute the negative sign to simplify the left side of the equation;

=\frac{3x^2+11x+6}{9x^2-4}-\frac{3x^2-11x+6}{9x^2-4}=\frac{44}{9x^2-4}\\\\=\frac{3x^2+11x+6-(3x^2-11x+6)}{9x^2-4}=\frac{44}{9x^2-4}\\\\=\frac{3x^2+11x+6-3x^2+11x-6}{9x^2-4}=\frac{44}{9x^2-4}\\\\=\frac{22x}{9x^2-4}{=\frac{44}{9x^2-4}

Since the denominators on opposite sides of the equation are like, one can now ignore the denominators,

=22x=44

Inverse operations,

=22x=44

   ÷2       ÷2

     x=2

We know that :

⊕  Sum of the interior angles in a Pentagon should be equal to 540°

⇒  x° + (2x)° + (2x)° + 90° + 90° = 540°

⇒  (5x)° = 540° - 180°

⇒  (5x)° = 360°

\sf{\implies x^{\circ} = \dfrac{360^{\circ}}{5}}

⇒ x° = 72°

Which of the following steps could be used as a shortcut method to multiply 12 by 50?
likoan [24]
We must remember that 50 x 2 = 100. Multiplying numbers by 100 would be easier since all we have to do is add two zeros after. For example, 62 x100 = 6200. Since we multiplied a number by 2, we must divide it by 2 after getting the product. To make this more clearer, for 12 x 50, for example, we have 12 x 50 = (12 x 100)/2 = 1200/2 = 600 Thus, the answer is C<span>.</span>
