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.

Given that the two triangles are similar, solve for x if AU = 20x + 108, UB = 273, BC = 703, UV = 444, AV = 372 and AC = 589.
Damm [24]
The answer:
<span>the two triangles are similar
in addition, the line UV is parallel to line BC, so we can use the theorem of Thales for proving the following ratios:

AV /AC = AU/ AB= UV/ BC
372/589=20x +80  / AB = 444 / 703

</span>so we get    (372/589) AB - 80 =  20x, and x = ( (372/589) AB - 80  ) / 20

exact value of x depends on the value of AB

Tamara is planting bushes around her house. So far today she has planted 5 bushes and she wants to plant at least 12 bushes toda
bixtya [17]

Answer:

b+5\geq 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of bushes planted = 5

Minimum number of bushes to be planted = 12

Let the number of bushes planted after planting 5 bushes be b.

Since, Tamara has already planted 5 bushes, total number of bushes planted is given as:

b+5

Now, as per question, total number of bushes should be 12 or greater than 12.

Therefore, b+5\geq 12.
