Solve 4/x-4=x/x-4-4/3 for x and determine if the solution is extraneous or not

4vir4ik [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 4 (extraneous solution)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$\frac { 4 } { x - 4 } = \frac { x } { x - 4 } - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 } { x - 4 } - \frac { x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 - x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ 3 ( 4 - x ) = - 4 ( x - 4 ) \\ 1 2 - 3 x = - 4 x + 1 6 \\ 4 x - 3 x = 1 6 - 1 2 \\ x = 4 \\$

This solution is extraneous. Reason being that even if it can be solved algebraically, it is still not a valid solution because if we substitute back $x=4$ , we will get two fractions with zero denominator which would be undefined.

Three friends go bowling the cost per person per game is $ 5.30 the cost to rent shoes is $ 2.50 per person.Their total cost is

siniylev [52]

Find cost of shoes first (7.50)
subtract from the total value (55.20-7.50= 47.7)
then divide by 5.30 (47.7/ 5.3= 9)

You go to an arcade and purchase a card with game credits. After playing 5 games you have 33 credits left. You play 4 more games

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$y=-3x+48$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use slope-intercept form of equation to write our equation. The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$ , where m= Slope of the line, b= y-intercept.

To write the equation that represents the number of credits y on the cards after x games, we will find slope of our line.

We have been given that after playing 5 games we have 33 credits left. We play 4 more games and we have 21 credits left. So our points will be (5,33) and (9,21).

Let us substitute coordinates of our both given points in slope formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ,

$m=\frac{21-33}{9-5}$

$m=\frac{-12}{4}=-3$

Now let us substitute m=-3 and coordinates of point (5,33) in slope intercept form of equation to find y-intercept.

$33=-3\cdot 5+b$

$33=-15+b$

$33+15=b$

$48=b$

Upon substituting m=-3 and b=48 in slope-intercept form of an equation we will get,

$y=-3x+48$

Therefore, our desired equation will be $y=-3x+48$ .
