Answer:

k =1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for k:

0.5 k + 2.5 = 2 (k + 0.5)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

0.5 k + 2.5 = 2 k + 1

Subtract 2 k from both sides:

(0.5 k - 2 k) + 2.5 = (2 k - 2 k) + 1

0.5 k - 2 k = -1.5 k:

-1.5 k + 2.5 = (2 k - 2 k) + 1

2 k - 2 k = 0:

2.5 - 1.5 k = 1

Subtract 2.5` from both sides:

(2.5 - 2.5) - 1.5 k = 1 - 2.5

2.5 - 2.5 = 0:

-1.5 k = 1 - 2.5

1 - 2.5 = -1.5:

-1.5 k = -1.5

Divide both sides of -1.5 k = -1.5 by -1.5:

(-1.5 k)/(-1.5) = (-1.5)/(-1.5)

(-1.5)/(-1.5) = 1:

k = (-1.5)/(-1.5)

(-1.5)/(-1.5) = 1:

Answer:  k = 1

Eleanor and Max used two rectangular pieces of plywood, placed end-to-end, to make a long rectangular stage for the school play.
Flauer [41]

Answer:the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or  6 1/4 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Area of  a rectangular plywood = length x width

Area of Ist Plywood= 7 x w

Area of 2nd  Plywood= 61/2 x w=6.5 xw

But Total Arae of trhe two Plywoods are = 84 3/8 square feet.

Therefore Our equation to solve the problem becomes

Area of Ist Plywood + Area of 2nd  Plywood =84 3/8 square feet.

7w + 6.5w =  84 3/8

13.5w= 84 3/8

w =  84 3/8/13.5

675/8  / 13.5

w=6.25

Therefore the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or 6 1/4 feet.

Plz i need help and plz explain
Montano1993 [528]

\frac{ {x}^{2}  - 7x + 12}{ {x}^{2} - x - 12 }  \\  =  \frac{ {x}^{2} - 4x - 3x + 12 }{ {x}^{2} - 4x + 3x - 12 }  \\  =  \frac{x(x - 4) - 3(x - 4)}{x(x - 4) + 3(x - 4)}  \\  =  \frac{(x - 3)(x - 4)}{(x + 3)(x - 4)}  \\  =  \frac{x - 3}{x + 3}

x² - x - 12 ≠ 0

x² - 4x + 3x - 12 ≠ 0

x (x - 4) + 3 (x - 4) ≠ 0

(x + 3)(x - 4) ≠ 0

x ≠ -3 or x ≠ 4
