Solve for all values of p: ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alchen [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

p = - 5, p = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{3p}{p-5} - \frac{2}{p+3} = \frac{p}{p+3}

Multiply through by the LCM of (p - 5)(p + 3)

3p(p + 3) - 2(p - 5) = p(p - 5) ← distribute parenthesis

3p² + 9p - 2p + 10 = p² - 5p

3p² + 7p + 10 = p² - 5p ( subtract p² - 5p from both sides )

2p² + 12p + 10 = 0 ← divide through by 2

p² + 6p + 5 = 0 ← in standard form

(p + 1)(p + 5) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for p

p + 1 = 0 ⇒ p = - 1

p + 5 = 0 ⇒ p = - 5

How to wirte a linear equation from a graph
astra-53 [7]
Hey there!
I'll assume we're using the slope-intercept form equation:
y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
First, we keep the y, because it's value depends on the x value given.
Next, we find the slope. Slope is defined as rise/run, so we take two points on the graph, find how much taller one is from another, and how far right/left they are, put those values over each other, and we have out slope (m).
Finally, we need to determine the y-intercept, and that's as simple as seeing where the line crosses the y axis and writing down that value.
Hope this helps!

A rental car agency charges $30.00 per day
lutik1710 [3]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>They should travel 120 mils in one day for both rental agencies  to cost the same amount to rent</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A rental car agency charges $30.00 per day  plus per mile $0.15.

Let x be the number of miles travelled by car

Their total cost = 30 + (0.15x)   ... (1)

Another rental car  agency charges $36.00 per day plus $0.10  per mile

Their total cost = 36 + (0.10x)   ... (2)

Equating (1) and (2), we get

30 + (0.15x) = 36 + (0.10x)

36 - 30 = 0.15x - 0.10x

6 = 0.05x

x = 120 miles

They should travel 120 mils in one day for both rental agencies  to cost the same amount to rent
