225-175=50
175-50=125
125 chidren liked both chocolate and pistachio ice cream.
Check: 398-123=275
275-125=150
225-125=100
175-125=50
100+50=150
150-150=0

16/32 = P/100
Cross multiply
p(32) = 16(100)
32p = 1600
divide by 32 on both sides
p = 50 %

What two rational expressions sum to 2x+3/x^2-5x+4

Anni [7]

Answer:

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{-5}{3(x- 1)} + \frac{11}{3(x - 4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rational expression: $\frac{2x + 3}{x^2 - 5x + 4}$ , to express this in simplified form, we would need to apply the concept of partial fraction.

Step 1: factorise the denominator

$x^2 - 5x + 4$

$x^2 - 4x - x + 4$

$(x^2 - 4x) - (x + 4)$

$x(x - 4) - 1(x - 4)$

$(x- 1)(x - 4)$

Thus, we now have: $\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)}$

Step 2: Apply the concept of Partial Fraction

Let,

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)}$ = $\frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}$

Multiply both sides by (x - 1)(x - 4)

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} * (x - 1)(x - 4)$ = $(\frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}) * (x - 1)(x - 4)$

$2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)$

Step 3:

Substituting x = 4 in $2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)$

$2(4) + 3 = A(4 - 4) + B(4 - 1)$

$8 + 3 = A(0) + B(3)$

$11 = 3B$

$\frac{11}{3} = B$

$B = \frac{11}{3}$

Substituting x = 1 in $2x + 3 = A(x - 4) + B(x - 1)$

$2(1) + 3 = A(1 - 4) + B(1 - 1)$

$2 + 3 = A(-3) + B(0)$

$5 = -3A$

$\frac{5}{-3} = \frac{-3A}{-3}$

$A = -\frac{5}{3}$

Step 4: Plug in the values of A and B into the original equation in step 2

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{A}{x- 1} + \frac{B}{x - 4}$

$\frac{2x + 3}{(x- 1)(x - 4)} = \frac{-5}{3(x- 1)} + \frac{11}{3(x - 4)}$

pickupchik [31]

a+b=350 => a=350 - b

3a + 5b = 1450
3(350-b)+b=1450
1050-3b+5b=1450
2b=400
b=200
a=150
