Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 18.

5 times the first number subtracted from 4/7 of the second number is 14.

First number --> x

Second number --> y

x + y = 18 --> x = 18-y

5x - (4/7)y = 14

5 (18-y) - (4/7)y = 14

90 - 5y - 4/7 y = 14

-5.57 y = 14-90

y = 13.64

x = 18 - 13.64

x = 4.36

HELP PLEASE FOR 35 POINTS!!!! Solve the rational equation 3 divided by x equals quantity 4 times x plus 3 divided by x squared,

Answer:

$x=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are given:

$\frac{3}{x}=\frac{4x+3}{x^2}$

First, we should immediately rule out 0 as an answer. This is because the if $x=0$ , the equation would be undefined.

$x\neq 0$

Now, cross multiply.

$3(x^2)=x(4x+3)$

$3x^2=4x^2+3x$

Divide everything by x (and we can do this safely because we already know x cannot be equal to zero).

$3x=4x+3$

$-x=3$

$x=-3$

We didn't run into any possibilities for extraneous solutions.
