Answer:

  x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your equation is ...

  \dfrac{1}{x}-\dfrac{1}{x-5}=\dfrac{1}{3x}

Subtracting the right side, then expressing with a common denominator gives ...

  \dfrac{3}{3x}-\dfrac{1}{3x}-\dfrac{1}{x-5}=0\\\\\dfrac{2}{3x}-\dfrac{1}{x-5}=0\\\\\dfrac{2(x-5)-3x}{3x(x-5)}=0\\\\\dfrac{-x-10}{3x(x-5)}=0\\\\\boxed{x=-10} \qquad\text{equate the numerator to 0 and add $x$}

A circle has its center at the center of a square with 26-inch sides. Using 3.14 for pi, find the area of the square not covered
AlladinOne [14]
For squrae
area=side²
perimiter=4(side)

for circle
area=pir²
circumference=2pir

side=diameter, diameter/2=radius=side/2


find area not covered
that is areasquare-areacircle
areasquare=26²=676 sqauare inches
areaciecle, diameter=side, 26/2=13, area=pi13²=169*3.14=530.66 square inches

areanotcovered=676-530.66=145.34 square inches not coverd


ratio of perimiter to circumferece
perimiter=4*26=104
circumference=2pir=2pi13=26pi=26*3.14=81.64
circumference to perimiter is 81.64/104=0.785

Explain how the Associative Property can be used to mentally find the volume of the prisms shown
Leona [35]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A prism is a solid object having two identical bases, hence the same cross section along the length. This is a rectangular prism its base is a rectangle. multiplying the three dimensions of a rectangular prism: length, width and height, gives us the volume of a prism:

V=L\times W\times H

Therefore, Associative Property can be used to mentally find the volume of the prisms shown by selecting the easier way of the multiplication. For instance, we can say that:

L=5cm \\ \\ W=18cm \\ \\ H=20cm

In whose case:

V=5\times 18\times 20

To operate this mentally is not an easy way, but<em> what if we rotate this shape? </em>so we say that:

L=18cm \\ \\ W=20cm \\ \\ H=5cm

Then, the volume can be found as:

V=18\times 20\times 5

There are two forms of finding the result. First, multiplying 18 by 20 and then the result by 5, but as in the previous case this is a tricky way to do mentally:

V=(18\times 20)\times 5

Hence, here we can use Associative Property multiplying 20 by 5 and then the result by 18:

V=18\times (20\times 5)

This last arrangement is easier because 20 x 5 is easy to remember given that the result is 100. Then, by multiplying this result by 18 then we get 1800.
