Answer:

D. x = 15, y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 20 (1)

3x - 3y = 30 (2)

From (1)

x = 20 - y

Substitute x = 20 - y into (2)

3x - 3y = 30 (2)

3(20 - y) - 3y = 30

60 - 3y - 3y = 30

- 3y - 3y = 30 - 60

-6y = -30

y = -30/-6

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into (1)

x + y = 20 (1)

x + 5 = 20

x = 20 - 5

x = 15

x = 15, y = 5

Add and subtract the rational expressions. 7x+5/x-1 -(8x1/x-1+2x-4/x-1) Which statements are true about the process for adding a

Answer:

2. The denominator of the fully simplified expression will be x – 1.

4. The numerator of the fully simplified expression will be –3x + 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rational expression

$\dfrac{7x+5}{x-1} -(\dfrac{8x-1}{x-1} +\dfrac{2x-4}{x-1} )$

Let us first simplify before making our deductions.

Opening the brackets

$\dfrac{7x+5}{x-1} -(\dfrac{8x-1}{x-1} +\dfrac{2x-4}{x-1} )=\dfrac{7x+5}{x-1} -\dfrac{8x-1}{x-1} -\dfrac{2x-4}{x-1}$

Taking LCM

$=\dfrac{7x+5-(8x-1)-(2x-4)}{x-1}$

Opening the brackets and simplifying

$=\dfrac{7x+5-8x+1-2x+4}{x-1}\\\text{Collecting like terms in the numerator}\\=\dfrac{7x-8x-2x+5+1+4}{x-1}\\=\dfrac{-3x+10}{x-1}$

The following statements are therefore true:

2. The denominator of the fully simplified expression will be x – 1.

4. The numerator of the fully simplified expression will be –3x + 10.

Answer:

x= 1 ±√21/3

x= 2.52753

x= - 0.527525

Step-by-step explanation:

-(-6) ±√-6² - 4 (3) (-4) / 2(3)

6±√36 -(-48) / 6

6±√84/6

6±2√21/6

6/6 ±2√21/6

1±√21/3

1+ √21/3 = 2.52753

1-√21/3= - 0.527525
