Y = (x+4)/4 where y represents the amount fifteen years ago and x represents the current price.

y = (50+4)/4
y = 13.5

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose the cost of the gum 15 years ago is = x

Today's cost is 4 cents less than four times what the pack cost 15 years ago.

Means

todays cost = 4 x- 4

4x - 4 = 50 ......................equation

Adding 4 in both sides

4x - 4 + 4 = 50 + 4

4x = 54

Dividing 4 in both sides

\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{54}{4}

x = 13.5

Hence price of gum 15 years ago was 13.5 cents. : Answer

Hope it will help :)

Solve equation, check for extraneous solutions
fiasKO [112]

Start with

1=\dfrac{1}{n^2}+\dfrac{n^2-4n-5}{3n^2}

We observe that both fractions are not defined if n=0. So, we will assume n \neq 0.

We multiply both numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and we sum the two fractions:

1=\dfrac{3}{3n^2}+\dfrac{n^2-4n-5}{3n^2} = \dfrac{n^2-4n-2}{3n^2}

We multiply both sides by 3n^2:

n^2-4n-2=3n^2

We move everything to one side and solve the quadratic equation:

2n^2+4n+2=0 \iff 2(n^2+2n+1)=0 \iff 2(n+1)^2=0 \iff n+1=0 \iff n=-1

We check the solution:

1=\dfrac{1}{1}+\dfrac{1+4-5}{3} \iff 1 = 1+0

which is true
