Answer:

There's only one solution x = 2

Thr solution x = 1 is an extraneous solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{x - 1} + \frac{2}{x} = \frac{x}{x - 1} \\ \frac{2}{x} = \frac{x}{x - 1} - \frac{1}{x - 1} \\ \frac{2}{x} = \frac{x - 1}{x - 1} \\ \frac{2}{x} = 1 \\ 2 = x$

What is the solution of two thirds x=12

joja [24]

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to simplify.

2/3x = 12

To isolate x, we should multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/3 to make x equal to a value:

Reciprocal of 2/3 = 3/2

x = 12 * 3/2
x = 18

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x ≈ 3.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin57° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{x}{4}$ ( multiply both sides by 4 )

4 × sin57° = x , thus

x ≈ 3.4 cm ( to 1 dec. place )

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2.8}{-0.004}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}\\\\=-\frac{2.8}{0.004}\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{2.8}{0.004}=700\\\\=-700$
