$\frac{3x}{x - 1} + 2 = \frac{3}{x - 1}$

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

$\frac{3x}{x - 1} + \frac{2x - 2}{ x - 1} = \frac{3}{x - 1}$

$\frac{3x + 2x - 2}{ x - 1} = \frac{3}{x - 1}$

$3x + 2x - 2 = 3$

$5x - 2 = 3$

$5x = 3 + 2$

$5x = 5$

$x = \frac{5}{5}$

$x = 1$

How many different 4 digit even numbers can be written using 0,5,6,3,8,7?<br><br> help asap please!!

fiasKO [112]

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess that means the digits can not be repeated in such a number.

let's start with how many numbers in general can be created :

we have 6 basic digits, and we are pulling 4 of them for a number.

if the sequence of the pulled digits would not matter, it would be combinations C (6, 4).

but we are creating different numbers, so the sequence of the digits does matter. so, it is permutations P (6, 4).

P(6, 4) = 6!/(6-4)! = 6!/2! = 6×5×4×3 = 360

so. bauxite, we can create 360 different 4 digit numbers out of these 6 digits.

but not all of them are wanted.

for example, I assume we don't want the numbers that start with a 0, because they would normally count as 3-digit numbers.

if that assumption is correct, we need to find how many would start with a 0, and subtract those from the total number.

since we are handling all 6 digits in the same way, an equal number must start with 0, with 5, with 6, with 3, with 8 and with 7.

so, 1/6 of the total number start with 0 : 360×1/6 = 60.

that means the total number of 4-digit numbers out of these 6 digits that do not start with 0 is 360-60 = 300.

but we are still not finished : we only want even numbers. that means they end with 0, 6 or 8.

in the same way we considered the first position, we consider also the last position. we have an equal amount of numbers that end with the different digits.

and so, we have 1/6 of 300 for each ending digit.

we want the specified 3 digits as end digits, so we get

3×1/6 of the 300 = 1/2 × 300 = 150

so, we can write 150 different 4-digit even numbers out of these 6 digits.

Explain why y +1 = 1.2(x + 2) and y- 5 = 1.2(x – 3) represent the same line, despite having

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

They have the same slope

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a line in point-slope form is expressed as;

y-y0 = m(x-x0)

We can see that both equations given are written in this form with a slope of 1.2. For two lines to be equal, they must have the same slope no matter the point on the lines. Hence the two equations are equal since they have different slopes.

Why is 0.03 less than 7.85?

IRINA_888 [86]

I think 0.3 is less 7.85 because there is a 1 on the end that was is a 3 and if you round it would be 0

Maths functions question!!

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

5) DE = 7 units and DF = 4 units

6) ST = 8 units

$\textsf{7)} \quad \sf OM=\dfrac{3}{2}\:units$

8) x ≤ -3 and x ≥ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Information from Parts 1-4:</u>

$f(x)=-x+3$

$g(x)=x^2-9$

A = (3, 0) and C = (-3, 0)

Points A and D are the <u>points of intersection</u> of the two functions.

To find the x-values of the points of intersection, equate the two functions and solve for x:

$\implies g(x)=f(x)$

$\implies x^2-9=-x+3$

$\implies x^2+x-12=0$

$\implies x^2+4x-3x-12=0$

$\implies x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0$

$\implies (x-3)(x+4)=0$

Apply the zero-product property:

$\implies (x-3)= \implies x=3$

$\implies (x+4)=0 \implies x=-4$

From inspection of the graph, we can see that the x-value of point D is <u>negative</u>, therefore the x-value of point D is x = -4.

To find the y-value of point D, substitute the found value of x into one of the functions:

$\implies f(-4)=-(-4)=7$

Therefore, D = (-4, 7).

The length of DE is the difference between the y-value of D and the x-axis:

⇒ DE = 7 units

The length of DF is the difference between the x-value of D and the x-axis:

⇒ DF = 4 units

To find point S, substitute the x-value of point T into function g(x):

$\implies g(4)=(4)^2-9=7$

Therefore, S = (4, 7).

The length ST is the difference between the y-values of points S and T:

$\implies ST=y_S-y_T=7-(-1)=8$

Therefore, ST = 8 units.

The given length of QR (⁴⁵/₄) is the difference between the functions at the same value of x. To find the x-value of points Q and R (and therefore the x-value of point M), subtract g(x) from f(x) and equate to QR, then solve for x:

$\implies f(x)-g(x)=QR$
