Answer:
denominators are zero for x=1
there is no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
We suspect your equation is supposed to be ...
10/(5x -5) +1/5 = 2/(x -1) . . . . . parentheses are required on denominators
The denominators will be zero for x=1.
This version of the equation has no solution. It simplifies to ...
2/(x-1) + 1/5 = 2/(x -1)
1/5 = 0 . . . . . subtract 2/(x-1) from both sides
There is no value of x that will make this equation true.

<em>Alternative interpretation</em>
The way your equation is written, it must be interpreted according to the order of operations to be ...
(10/5)x -5 +1/5 = (2/x) -1 . . . . x=0 makes the denominator zero
2x -3.8 = 2/x
2x^2 -3.8x = 2 . . . . multiply by x
2(x^2 -1.9x +.95^2) = 2 +2(0.95^2)
(x -0.95)^2 = 1.9025
x = 0.95 ± √1.9025 ≈ {-0.4293, 2.3293}
In order to subtract fractions, you need the denominators (bottom number) to be the same.

The equation of the parabola whose focus is at (7, 0) and directrix at y = -7 is
(x-7)^2 = 14(y + 7/2)

Answer: 64 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
I divided 56/140 and got 0.4. Then multiplied 0.4 by 160 and got 64. SOunds about right to me.
You can double check by multipling 0.4 by 140 and you get 56.
Answer: y = 1/2 or y = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First move the 1 to the side with the 0
-4y^2 = -1 // -1 because when you move a number to the other side of the equation you have to multiply -1
Then divide by -4 on each side
y^2 = 1/4
square root each side
|y| = 1/2 // sq rt y^2 becomes an absolute value because when you square root a square it automatically becomes an absolute value
so the answer would be y = 1/2 or -1/2
to check just put it into the equation as y. Both work.
