I think it’s b the second one
The problem can be translated into an equation that is something like 4/5 + 3/x = 1/2
we cannot have x equal to zero because the number can be infinite.
So the LCD here is 10x, so multiply both sides by that to get:
8x + 30 = 5x
Subtract 5x and 30 from both sides:
3x = -30
divide:
x = -10
The solution isn't zero so there is a solution.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 175
y = 175 - x
f(x) = (x+3)(y+4)
= x(175-x) + 3(175-x) + 4x + 12
= 175x - x² + 525 - 3x + 4x + 12
= -x² +176x + 537
f'(x) = -2x + 176
maximum when x = 88
y = 175-x = 87
Expand and simplify
(x-3) (x-3) +2(x-3) -8=0
(x-3+2)(x-3)-8=0
(x-1)(x-3)-8=0
x^2 -4x +3-8=0
x^2 - 4x -5=0
x^2 -5x +x-5=0
x(x-5)+x-5=0
(x+1)(x-5)=0
x= - 1, 5
