The one-time entry fee is $12.

In order to determine the one-time entry fee, two equations have to be formed from the information in the question:

x + 5y = 42 equation 1

x + 7y = 54 equation 2

Where:

x = one-time entry fee

y = cost to pick an apple per pound

In order to determine the one-time entry fee, take the following steps:

Multiply equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 5.

7x + 35y = 294 equation 3

5x + 35y = 270 equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from equation 3

2x =24

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

x = $12

What is the common denominator of (5/x^2-4) - (2/x+2) in the complex fraction (2/x-2) - (3/x^2-4)/(5/x^2-4) - (2/x+2)

PIT_PIT [208]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

common denominator: (x² -4)
simplified complex fraction: (2x +1)/(9 -2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is helpful to remember the factoring of the difference of squares:

a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b)

Your denominator of (x² -4) factors as (x -2)(x +2). You will note that one of these factors is the same as the denominator in the other fraction.

It looks like you want to simplify ...

$\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{2}{x-2}-\dfrac{3}{x^2-4}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{5}{x^2-4}-\dfrac{2}{x+2}\right)}=\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{2(x+2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}-\dfrac{3}{(x-2)(x+2)}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{5}{(x-2)(x+2)}-\dfrac{2(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}\right)}\\\\=\dfrac{2(x+2)-3}{5-2(x-2)}=\boxed{\dfrac{2x+1}{9-2x}}$

What is the solution to 2logg(x) = logg8+log,(x-2)?<br> x=-4<br> x=-2<br> X=4<br> X= 8

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

x = 4

which agrees with the third listed answer among the given options

Step-by-step explanation:

We can re-write the logarithmic equation using the properties of logarithms:

$2\,log(x)=log(8)+log(x-2)\\log(x^2)=log(8*(x-2))\\log(x^2)=log(8x-16)$

Therefore, the arguments of the log functions must also be equal (and we can solve for "x" by noticing that this expression is the perfect square of a binomial:

$x^2=8x-16\\x^2-8x+16=0\\(x-4)^2=0$

and for this equation to verify, x must be 4
