Hey!
Using the additive property of equality, we can subtract 5x from both sides to get 5x^2-9x=1. Next, we can subtract 1 from both sides to get 5x^2-9x-1=0. Thus, we have a polynomial equation of the form ax^2+bx+c. To simplify this, we would need to factor it out. In the case where a>1, which this one is, we must factor the polynomial so we end up with (5x+ _)(x+_). Thus, if we put the first blank as the value a and the second value as the value b, we get (5x+a)*(x+b)=5x^2+ax+5xb+ab. Thus, a*b=-1 (since there isn’t an x attached to it) and ax+5xb=-9x. Using a*b=-1, we can divide b from both sides using the multiplicative property of equality to get a=-1/b. Substituting that into ax+5xb=-9x, we have ax+5(-1/a)x=-9x. Dividing x from both sides, we get a+-5/a=-9. Multiplying both sides by a get rid of the -5/a, we get a^2-5=-9a. Adding 9a to both sides, we end up with a^2+9a-5=0. This is simpler than our original equation, and we can quickly figure out that because (0)^2+9*0-5=-5 and (1)^2+9*1-5=5, a must be between 0 and 1 and it would therefore be relatively complex to factor out. Therefore, our equation stays as is, and our simplified equation is 5x^2-9x-1=0

Answer: 7/8
Step-by-step explanation: This is a substitution problem, from the expression x + ³/₄, where x = ¹/₈, we now replace or substitute for x and then solve the expression fractionally, the expression now becomes
¹/₈ + ³/₄
Now , find the l. c. m. of the denominator 8 and 4
1 + 6
= _____
8
= 7/8
NOTE: To get 1 and 6, you find out how many times 8 can go in the l. c. m. and later multiplied the number of times by the numerator which = 1.
And the number of times 4 can go in the l. c. m. (8) which is 2 times then multiplied by the numerator (3) = 6.
Adding 1 and 6 together gives 7/8.
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
24 gear.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that 
.
Gear A = 36 teeth
Gear C = 16 teeth
Let gear B have x teeth.
On cross multiplication we get
Taking square root on both sides.
Therefore, gear B have 24 teeth.
C.infinitely many solutions
