What are the x intercepts for 5/x + 1/3x = 4x/3

1 answer:

4 0

$\bf \cfrac{5}{x}+\cfrac{1}{3}x=\cfrac{4x}{3}\implies \cfrac{5}{x}+\cfrac{x}{3}=\cfrac{4x}{3}$

now, the cheap answer will be, let's just get the LCD of all those fractions, hmm let's see is 3x, and multiply all the fractions by the LCD, that way, getting rid of the denominators.

$\bf \cfrac{5}{x}+\cfrac{1}{3}x=\cfrac{4x}{3}\implies \cfrac{5}{x}+\cfrac{x}{3}=\cfrac{4x}{3}\impliedby \times \stackrel{LCD}{3x}
\\\\\\
\boxed{3x}\cdot \cfrac{5}{x}+\boxed{3x}\cdot \cfrac{x}{3}=\boxed{3x}\cdot \cfrac{4x}{3}\implies 15+x^2=4x^2\implies 15=3x^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{15}{3}=x^2\implies 5=x^2\implies \pm\sqrt{5}=x$

Answer:

The solution is (-2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding the solution of system of equations, you need to find where both lines intersect.

In the graph shown, the light purple and dark purple line meet at (-2, 4).

Hope this helps!!

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation.

True [87]

Question 1:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Slope
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Equation: y = 5x - 2
Slope = 5
Slope of parallel line = 5

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert slope into the general equation y = mx + c
--------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 5x + c

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Find y-intercept
--------------------------------------------------------------------
At point (2, -1)
y = 5x + c
-1 = 5(2) + c
c = -1 - 10
c = -11

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert y-intercept into the equation
--------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 5x + c
y = 5x - 11

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: y = 5x - 11
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 2:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Slope
--------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 9x
Slope = 9
Slope of the parallel line = 9

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert slope into the equation y = mx + c
--------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 9x + c

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Find y-intercept
--------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 9x + c
At point (0, 5)
5 = 9(0) + c
c = 5

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert y-intercept into the equation
--------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 9x + c
y = 9x + 5

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: y = 9x + 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Armando got a job selling bags of peanuts at the local art festival. He is paid a fixed amount of $320 per

skelet666 [1.2K]

0.67n + 320

=(0.67 * 430) + 320

= 288.1 + 320

= $608.1

0.67n + 320 = 728.70

0.67n = 728.70 - 320

0.67n = 408.7

n = 408.7 / 0.67
