Factor the problem first. So for number one, take out a seven to make it 7(x+4) and factor by subtraction of square roots on the bottom to make it (x-4)(x+4) Then, because there are factors of (x+4) on the top and bottom, cancel them out to make it 7/(x-4)
Im guessing restrictions are the values x cannot be. So you take the denominator factors of (x+4)(x-4) and set them equal to zero. x+4=0 and x-4=0.
so x cannot =4, and -4
Hope this helps you answer the next ones!
(printer cost) = 0.20 * (savings)
(printer cost)/0.20 = (savings)
savings = 5*(printer cost)
Whatever the cost of the printer was (information not supplied here), Corey's savings was 5 times that amount.
-4 x 9= -36 and the when you add 5 to -36 you get -31. Hope this helps
So we can subsitute since they all equatl zero
1/2+n=0=2/3+n
1/2+n=2/3+n
subtract n from both sides
1/2=2/3
false statement
therefor there is no solution
