Answer:

x = -3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x-2)/x-3 = 5/6

(2x-2)×6 = 5×(x-3)

12x-12 = 5x-15

12x-5x = -15+12

7x = -3

x = -3/7

Final answer x is equal to -3/7.

Given that 310 = 59 049 , what is 3-10 expressed as an exact value?

Advocard [28]

$x^{-n}=\frac{1}{x^n} \\ \\
3^{10}=59049 \\
3^{-10}=\frac{1}{3^{10}}=\frac{1}{59049} \\ \\
\boxed{3^{-10}=\frac{1}{59049}}$

Solve the equation x+3/x-4 = x-5/x+4

Serga [27]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x+3}{x-4}=\dfrac{x-5}{x+4}\\\\\text{Domain:}\ x-4\neq0\ \wedge\ x+4\neq0\\\\x\neq4\ \wedge\ x\neq-4\\\\D:x\in\mathbb{R}-\{-4,\ 4\}$

$\dfrac{x+3}{x-4}=\dfrac{x-5}{x+4}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\(x+3)(x+4)=(x-4)(x-5)\qquad\text{use FOIL}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(x)(x)+(x)(4)+(3)(x)+(3)(4)=(x)(x)+(x)(-5)+(-4)(x)+(-4)(-5)\\\\x^2+4x+3x+12=x^2-5x-4x+20\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\x^2+(4x+3x)+12=x^2+(-5x-4x)+20\\\\x^2+7x+12=x^2-9x+20\qquad\text{subtract}\ x^2\ \text{from both sides}\\\\7x+12=-9x+20\qquad\text{subtract 12 from both sides}\\\\7x=-9x+8\qquad\text{add}\ 9x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\16x=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 16}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{16}\\\\x=\dfrac{8:8}{16:8}\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{2}\in D$
