(2/5)+(3/(5x))=(x+5)/10
nasty fractions, we hates it forever
so
get rid of all those nasty fractions
multiply both sides by 10x
4x+6=x(x+5)
distribute
4x+6=x^2+5x
minus (4x+6) from both sides
0=x^2+x-6
factor
0=(x-2)(x+3)
set each to zero
0=x-2
2=x
0=x+3
-3=x
x=-3 and 2
3rd option is answer
You are given the X value, replace x with 2 in the first equation to solve for y:
y=2x +3
y = 2(2) +3
y = 4+3
y = 7
Now replace y with 7 and x iwth 2 in the second equation and solve for k:
y = -x +k
7 = -2 +k
Add 2 to both sides:
9 = k
so k = 9
The point is given as k-2, which is 9-2 = 7, which is what y equals in the first equation.
K = 9
Well if your having trouble you should stay after school and ask for help that's what I would do.
