Answer:

<em>c = 4</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5x = 12/5

30x = 12

$x_{1}$ = 2/5

$x_{2}$ = 2

<em>c </em>= [(2/5)*2] * 5 =<em> 4</em>

(5x - 2)(x - 2) = 0

5x² - 12x + 4 = 0

What is the missing expression that would make the left-hand-side of the equation equal to the right-hand-side?

o-na [289]

Given:

The equation is

$\dfrac{???}{x-2}/\dfrac{x^2-1}{x^2-4x+4}=\dfrac{5(x-2)}{x-1}$

To find:

The missing value.

Solution:

Let the missing value be k.

$\dfrac{k}{x-2}/\dfrac{x^2-1}{x^2-4x+4}=\dfrac{5(x-2)}{x-1}$

$\dfrac{k}{x-2}\times \dfrac{x^2-2(x)(2)+2^2}{x^2-1^2}=\dfrac{5(x-2)}{x-1}$

Using the formulae $(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$ and $(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2$ .

$\dfrac{k}{x-2}\times \dfrac{(x-2)^2}{(x-1)(x+1)}=\dfrac{5(x-2)}{x-1}$

$\dfrac{k(x-2)}{(x-1)(x+1)}=\dfrac{5(x-2)}{x-1}$

Cancel out the common factors from both sides.

$\dfrac{k}{x+1}=5$

Multiply both sides by (x+1).

$k=5(x+1)$

Therefore, the missing value is 5(x+1).

Schach [20]

This isn't a math question, but I'll answer it anyways :)
Monotheistic means the religion only believes in one God. Examples of these are:
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam
So the answer would be D.
Hope that helped :) <span />
