It's not entirely clear to me what you're trying to solve, but it looks like the initial equation is

\dfrac{a-2}{a+3} -1 = \dfrac3{a+2}

First convert each term into a fraction with the same (i.e. the least common) denominator. The first term needs to be multiplied by <em>a</em> + 2; the second term by (<em>a</em> + 3) (<em>a</em> + 2); and the third term by <em>a</em> + 3 :

\dfrac{a-2}{a+3}\cdot\dfrac{a+2}{a+2} -1\cdot\dfrac{(a+3)(a+2)}{(a+3)(a+2)} = \dfrac3{a+2}\cdot\dfrac{a+3}{a+3} \\\\ \dfrac{(a-2)(a+2)}{(a+3)(a+2)} - \dfrac{(a+3)(a+2)}{(a+3)(a+2)} = \dfrac{3(a+3)}{(a+3)(a+2)}

Now that everything has the same denominator, we can combine the fractions into one. Move every term to one side and join the numerators:

\dfrac{(a-2)(a+2)-(a+3)(a+2)-3(a+3)}{(a+3)(a+2)} = 0

Simplify the numerator:

\dfrac{(a^2-4)-(a^2+5a+6)-(3a+9)}{(a+3)(a+2)} = 0 \\\\ \dfrac{-8a-19}{(a+3)(a+2)} = 0

If neither <em>a</em> = -3 nor <em>a</em> = -2, we can ignore the denominator:

-8a-19 = 0

Solve for <em>a</em> :

-8a = 19 \\\\ \boxed{a = -\dfrac{19}8}

Miguel has triple David's money, while Lisbeth has ten dollars less than David. The sum of their money totals $95. How much mone
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Miguel has $63

Lisbeth has $11

David has $21

Step-by-step explanation:

let Miguel share be M

let Lisbeth share be L

let David share be D

from the question, we know that

M=3D

L=D-10.

M+L+D=95

thus,

3D+(D-10)+D= 95

3D+D-10+D= 95

5D-10 = 95

5D= 95+10

5D= 105

D= 105/5

D= 21.

thus,

M = 3D = 3×21

= $63

L = D-10 = 21-10

= $11

(63+21+11)$ = $95

What are the critical values for a two-tailed test with a 0.01 level of significance when n is large and the population standard
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
For a two-tailed test we need to halve 0.01, giving 0.005. Then we need to sutract 0.005 from 0.5, giving 0.5 - 0.005 = 0.495. Looking up the p value of 0.495 in an inverse normal probability table we obtain the value z = 2.5758. Therefore the critical values are -2.5758 and 2.5758.

WINSTONCH [101]
A = LW
A = (< = 33)
L = W + 8

W(W + 8) < = 33
W^2 + 8W < = 33
W^2 + 8W - 33 < = 0
(W + 11)(W - 3) < = 0

W + 11 < = 0
W < = -11 (extraneous solution)

W - 3 < = 0
W < = 3 <===

L < = W + 8
L < = 3 + 8
L < = 11 <===
