Answer:

The correct option is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rational expression is

\frac{x+5}{x^2+6x+5}

Factorize the denominator.

The middle term can be written as 5x+x.

\frac{x+5}{x^2+5x+x+5}

\frac{x+5}{x(x+5)+1(x+5)}

\frac{x+5}{(x+5)(x+1)}

Cancel out the common factors.

\frac{1}{x+1}

The simplified form of the given expression is \frac{1}{x+1}. The factors of the denominator are (x+5) and (x+1), it means at x=-5 and x=-1, the value of denominator is zero.

The given expression is not defined for x=-1 and x=-5.

Therefore the correct option is 2.

Rob buy 6 tickets to the basketball game he pays $8.50 for parking. His total cost is $40.54. What is the cost of each ticket?
Natalija [7]
The cost of all the tickets is 32.04

Subtract $8.50 from $40.54 to leave you with the ticket costs. 

Each individual ticket would be 5.34. You get this because $32.04 divided by six tickets is the cost of one.

How do I express the following as a fractional part of a year?
timama [110]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A year has 12 months and 365 days.

3 months: 3/12 year = 1/4 year

55 days: 55/365 year = 11/73 year

1 month: 1/12 year

7 months = 7/12 year

120 days = 120/365 year = 24/73 year

Solve for x: 4 over 5 x + 4 over 3 = 2x x = __________________ Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. Use the "/" sym
alexgriva [62]
Let's see.

4x/5 + 4/3 = 2x

First we have to make each denominator the same, so I'll multiply 4x/5 by 3/3, 4/3 by 5/5, and 2x by 15/15

Now we have 12x/15 + 20/15 = 30x/15

With everything in the same denominator we can solve the new equation of
12x + 20 = 30x

20 = 18x

10 = 9x

X= 10/9
