You do 9/10. Which here it only fits once. So this is 1 1/10. The other one fits 3 times. So its 3 1/10.
If you want the subtraction also done its 1 4/10.
Answer:
denominators are zero for x=1
there is no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
We suspect your equation is supposed to be ...
10/(5x -5) +1/5 = 2/(x -1) . . . . . parentheses are required on denominators
The denominators will be zero for x=1.
This version of the equation has no solution. It simplifies to ...
2/(x-1) + 1/5 = 2/(x -1)
1/5 = 0 . . . . . subtract 2/(x-1) from both sides
There is no value of x that will make this equation true.

<em>Alternative interpretation</em>
The way your equation is written, it must be interpreted according to the order of operations to be ...
(10/5)x -5 +1/5 = (2/x) -1 . . . . x=0 makes the denominator zero
2x -3.8 = 2/x
2x^2 -3.8x = 2 . . . . multiply by x
2(x^2 -1.9x +.95^2) = 2 +2(0.95^2)
(x -0.95)^2 = 1.9025
x = 0.95 ± √1.9025 ≈ {-0.4293, 2.3293}
Answer:
5, 8, 11, 14, 17,....
f(n) = 5+3n where n is the number of steps after the first two. 7 steps is 20 faces.
Step-by-step explanation:
A sequence is a list of numbers that are related. The first number in the sequence is 5 since the first part of the stairs has 5 faces (5 squares, the dark don't count). Every time you add a "stair" you add 2 blocks - one underneath to support and one as the step. This adds 3 faces. So 5 becomes 8. Repeat and 8 becomes 11. You add 3 faces each time. So the sequence is
5, 8, 11, 14, 17,....
This is a constant pattern of adding 3 each time after the initial start. So we can write a rule. We start with 5 + 3(each stair step). So if the cube is 7 stairs high, that is 5 more repetitions of adding blocks after the start (remember the start has 2 steps already). So 5 + 3(5) = 20. 7 steps high will have 20 faces.
