Tasya [4]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2/(x + 5) = 25/(x+5)      Subtract the right side from both sides.

x^2/(x + 5) - 25/(x + 5) = 0

x^2 - 25

=======   = 0

x + 5

(x + 5)(x - 5)

============= = 0

(x + 5)

Cancel x + 5 in the numerator and denominator.

x - 5 = 0

x = + 5

Does it check?

x^2/(x + 5) = 25/(x + 5)

x = 5

5^2/(10) = 25/10

25/10 = 25/10 Yes it checks.

The sum of two numbers is -17 and their difference is 41 what are the two numbers?
liberstina [14]

Answer: the two numbers are 7 and -27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b

From the question,

a + b = -27.......eqn 1

a - b = 41............eqn 2

Sum the two equations

2a = 14

Divide both sides by 2

a = 14/2; a = 7

Substitute a = 7 into equation 2

a - b = 41

7 - b = 41

Make b the subject of the equation

-b = 41 -7

-b = 34

b = -34

Check:

a + b = -27, slot the values of a and b

7 + (-34) = -27

7- 34 = -27

I hope this is clear, please mark as brainliest answer

Someone please help and explain it would really help
Vaselesa [24]

So when you're solving for x here and distribute 8 on the right side, it would look like this:

8x+47=8(x+5)\\ \\ 8x+47=8x+40

Now in order to solve for x, we know we have to get all the x's on one side of the equal sign. Let's get all our x's to the left side. Since the right side has a positive 8x, you need to subtract 8x on the right. But whatever you do to one side you must do to the other. So since we are subtracting 8x on the right, we need to do that on the left.

But we can't! Since both sides will cancel out to zero before x can be solved.

Therefore the answer is 0.

Hope that helps!

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through each point with the given slope (-1,-2) m= 3
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

<h2>           y + 2 = 3(x + 1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The Point-Slope form of equation of a line with slope of "m" and passing through point (x₁, y₁) is:  y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m = 3

x₁ = -1

y₁ = -2

Therefore the equation:

                                      y - (-2) = 3(x - (-1))

<h3>                                   y + 2 = 3(x + 1)</h3>
