Given
and
Expand:
Since the denominators are the same, they will cancel out,
Answer:
x < 1/2 and x>2
Step-by-step explanation:
first solve the eqn,
2x2 -5x +2 = 2x2 -4x -x +2 = 2x(x-2) - 1(x-2) = (2x-1)(x-2)
since the questions asks for >,
x < 1/2 and x>2
if the question had asked for <,
1/2<x<2
Answer:
C. In step 2, Cindy should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll go through the equation correctly, and then point out what would have happened.
3 = x/2 - 5
Add 5 to both sides. -5 and 5 cancel out.
8 = x/2
What Cindy should have done here is multiply by 2, not divide by 2. It is important to remember that you do the INVERSE operation to cancel out a number.
What would have happened here is that we have an extra step (though either way we still end up with x being 16.)
Correct Step 2:
Multiply both sides by 2. x/2 and 2x cancel out.
x = 16
Incorrect Step 2:
8/2 = (x/2)/2
4 = x/4
Multiply both sides by 4 (this would be the extra step!).
16 = x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: or takes watever numbers you need , for example 5 + 3 or 3 +5 then add and ur done!
51% less.
The length is decreased by 50%, which is the same as being multiplied by 0.5, then it's increased by 40% which is another multiplication by 1.4. So the overall change is 0.5 * 1.4 = 0.7, or the newest rectangle is 70% of the size of the original rectangle. And since the area increases by the square, the newest rectangle has 0.7 * 0.7 = 0.49 of the area as the original rectangle. So it has 51% less area than the original rectangle.
