Solve the equation. Show all your work. x/x-2+x-1/x+1=-1

1 answer:

3 0

Multiply both sides by (x-2)(x+1) to clea fractions
x(x+1)+(x-1)(x-2)=(-1)(x-2)(x+1)
distribute
x^2+x+x^2-3x+2=-x^2+x-2
add like terms
2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+2
add x^2 to both sdes
3x^2-2x+2=x+2
minus x from both sides
3x^2-3x+2=2
minus 2 both sides
3x^2-3x=0
factor
(3x)(x-1)=0
set to zero

3x=0
x=0

x-1=0
x=1

x=0 or 1

Find the area of rectangle with sides 2 5/6 and 4 4/7

g100num [7]

<h3>Given :</h3>

Length = $\sf2\dfrac{5}{6}$ cm.
Breadth = $\sf4\dfrac{4}{7}$ cm.

The area of rectangle.

<h3>Solution :</h3>

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

$\sf=2\dfrac{5}{6}\times4\dfrac{4}{7}$

$\sf=\dfrac{17}{6}\times\dfrac{25}{7}$

$\sf=\dfrac{17\times25}{6\times7}$

$\sf=\dfrac{425}{42}$

<h3>Area of rectangle is 425/42 cm².</h3>

Which equation does the graph represent (see picture)

egoroff_w [7]

Y=Mx +b

B is 0 because that’s where the graph intercepts the y axis.

M is found by picking any two points and finding the rise and run because m is equal rise/run

Points of choice: (-2,4) and (2,-4)

=2−1/2−1 = -8/4

m is equal -2

Y= -2X

Look at the picture below to differentiate between positive and negative slopes.
