4/(x+1) = 3/x + 1/15
Should we make common denominators with everything, we get
4*15*x / [15x(x+1)] = 3*15*(x+1)/[15x(x+1)] + x(x+1)/[15x(x+1)]
Multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator to cancel them
60x = 45(x+1) + x(x+1)
60x = 45x + 45 + x^2 + x
x^2 - 14x + 45 = 0
(x-9)(x-5) = 0
The answer to this question is that the solutions are x=9 and x=5.
A and b can do a piece of work in 12 days. If a alone have to finish the job among b and c so
A and b=12
A (24 days alone without b)
So if b and c 15 days and c 20 days. If a have to do all I would add 24 and 15 and 20 which would be 59 days
Answer:
The answer to -8 1/2 + 4 1/14 = -4 3/7
Hope this helps :-)
