Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: yes because when rewritten in standard form the x term will still be raised to the 2nd power.
Answer: Todd earned $40 mowing the neighbor's lawn.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount of money that Todd earned, mowing his neighbor's lawn.
He spent one-fourth of his money see a movie. It means that the amount spent in seeing a movie is x/4
Then he spent $6.00 on popcorn and drinks. It means that the total amount spent is
x/4 + 6
The amount left would be
x - (x/4 + 6) = x - x/4 - 6
When he went home, he had $24.00 left. It means that
x - x/4 - 6 = 24
x - x/4 = 24 + 6
x - x/4 = 30
Cross multiplying by 4, it becomes
4x - x = 120
3x = 120
x = 120/3
x = $40

<h3>
Answer:</h3>
x = 1
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
<em>The only solution is an extraneous solution</em>, which is to say the equation has no solution.
The rational expression reduces to -1 (for x≠1), which makes the equation ...
1 = 1/x
The only solution to this is x=1, which is specifically disallowed.
___
If you subtract the right side, the equation becomes ...
((-x+1)(x) +2(x)(x -1) -(x -1))/(x -1) = 0
(-x^2 +x +2x^2 -2x -x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses in the numerator
(x^2 -2x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
(x -1)^2/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor
This is undefined for the only value of x that could possibly be a solution, x=1.
