Determine the value of y in the equation: -5y-9=-(y-1) (show all work)

1) -5y - 9 = - (y - 1)

2) solve the parenthesis of the right side

-5y - 9 = - y + 1

3) add 5y to both sides

5y - 5y - 9 = -y + 5y + 1

- 9 = 4y + 1

4) Subtract 1 from both sides

-9 - 1 = 4y + 1 - 1

-10 = 4y

5) Divide both sides by 4

-10 / 4 = 4y/4

- 2.5 = y

Answer: y = - 2.5

Find two rational expressions a / b and c / d that produce the result x − 1 / x2 when using the following operations. Answers

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

a) Let $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{-1}{x^2}, \text{ and } \frac{c}{d}=\frac{1}{x}$ .

Observe that

$\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{-1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{-x+x^2}{x^3}=\frac{x(x-1)}{xx^2}=\frac{x-1}{x^2}$

b)

Let $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{1}{x}, \text{ and } \frac{c}{d}=\frac{1}{x^2}.$

Observe that

$\frac{a}{b}-\frac{c}{d}=\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{x^2}=\frac{x^2-x}{x^3}=\frac{x(x-1)}{xx^2}=\frac{x-1}{x^2}$

c)

Let $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{x-1}{x}, \text{ and } \frac{c}{d}=\frac{1}{x}.$

Observe that

$\frac{a}{b}*\frac{c}{d}=\frac{x-1}{x}*\frac{1}{x}=\frac{(x-1)1}{x*x}=\frac{x-1}{x^2}$

d)

Let $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{x-1}{x}, \text{ and } \frac{c}{d}=\frac{x}{1}.$

Observe that

$\frac{a}{b}\div\frac{c}{d}=\frac{x-1}{x}\div\frac{x}{1}=\frac{x-1}{x}*\frac{1}{x}=\frac{x-1}{x^2}$
