Answer:

\frac{x}{x+2} - \frac{4}{x-2}=1\\or, \frac{x(x-2)}{(x+2)(x-2)} -\frac{4(x+2)}{(x+2)(x-2)}=1\\or, \frac{x^2-2x}{x^2-4} -\frac{(4x+8)}{x^2-4} =1\\or, \frac{x^2-2x-(4x+8)}{x^2-4} =1\\or, \frac{x^2-2x-4x-8}{x^2-4}=1\\or, {x^2-6x-8} =x^2-4\\or, -6x-8=-4\\or, 3x+4=2\\or, 3x = -2\\or, x =\frac{-2}{3}

A bowl has only red, green, and purple grapes. The probability of picking a red grape out of the bowl, eating it, and then picki
Xelga [282]

The probability of picking a green grape is 1/2.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is the occurence of likely events. It is the area of mathematics that deals with numerical estimates of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. An event's probability is a number between 0 and 1.

Since the probability of picking a red grape out of the bowl, eating it, and then picking a green grape out of the bowl is 1/8 and probability of picking just a red grape is 1/4 .

The probability of green grape will be the division. This will be:

= P(R and G) / P(R)

= 1/8 ÷ 1/4

= 1/8 × 4/1

= 1/2

The probability is 1/2.

What is the value of x for the equation x+2/4 + 1/3 = 2x-1/6
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+24+13=2x−16

x+ 1 2 + 1 3 =2x+ −1 6

(x)+( 1 2 + 1 3 )=2x+ −1 6 (Combine Like Terms)

x+ 5 6 =2x+ −1 6

x+ 5 6 =2x+ −1 6

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

x+ 5 6 −2x=2x+ −1 6 −2x

−x+ 5 6 = −1 6

Step 3: Subtract 5/6 from both sides.

−x+ 5 6 − 5 6 = −1 6 − 5 6

−x=−1

Step 4: Divide both sides by -1.

−x −1 = −1 −1

x=1

What polygon is formed when 2 equilateral triangles that are congruent and share a side
zalisa [80]

You form a rhombus.

Draw an equilateral triangle, and then mirror it around its base. All the sides are clearly equal, because they are all sides of the same equilateral triangle.

Moreover, the top and bottom angle are 60°, because they are angles of an equilateral triangle, while the left and right angles are 120, because they're 60+60 angles.
