Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

5 (2 x - 8) - 15 = 5

5 (2 x - 8) = 10 x - 40:

10 x - 40 - 15 = 5

Grouping like terms, 10 x - 40 - 15 = 10 x + (-40 - 15):

10 x + (-40 - 15) = 5

-40 - 15 = -55:

10 x + -55 = 5

Add 55 to both sides:

10 x + (55 - 55) = 55 + 5

55 - 55 = 0:

10 x = 5 + 55

5 + 55 = 60:

10 x = 60

Divide both sides of 10 x = 60 by 10:

(10 x)/10 = 60/10

10/10 = 1:

x = 60/10

The gcd of 60 and 10 is 10, so 60/10 = (10×6)/(10×1) = 10/10×6 = 6:

Answer: |

| x = 6

If u(x) = x5 – x4 + x2 and v(x) = –x2, which expression is equivalent to (u/v)(x)
choli [55]

Answer:

c) -x^3 + x^2 - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: u (x) = x^5 - x^4 +x^2 and v(x) = -x^2

(u/v)(x) = u(x)/v(x)

Now plug in the given functions in the above formula, we get

= (x^5 - x^4 + x^2) / -x^2

We can factorize the numerator.

In x^5 - x^4 + x^2. the common factor is x^2, so we can take it out and write the remaining terms in the parenthesis.

= x^2 (x^3 - x^2 + 1) / - x^2

Now we gave x^2 both in the numerator and in the denominator, we can cancel it out.

(u/v)(x) = (x^3 - x^2 + 1) / -1

When we dividing the numerator by -1, we get

(u/v)(x) = -x^3 + x^2 - 1

Answer: c) -x^3 + x^2 - 1

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.
