Answer:

X = 5

Remember, x has a hidden one behind it, so it would be 1x

3x - 2(x + 1) = 2x - 7

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by x+1.

3x−2x−2=2x−7

Combine 3x and −2x to get x

x−2=2x−7

Subtract 2x from both sides

x−2−2x=−7

Combine x and −2x to get −x

−x−2=−7

Add 2 to both sides

−x=−7+2

Add −7 and 2 to get −5

−x=−5

multiply both sides by -1

x=5

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf \ \ \ \dfrac{18}{(x-7)(x+12)(x+30)} \ \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

first of all we will study the quadratic expressions

we can write that, (the different answers provide good clues :-) )

$x^2+5x-84=(x-7)(x+12)$

and

$x^2+23x-210=(x-7)(x+30)$

so first of all as we cannot divide by 0 we need to take x different from 7, -12 and -30 and then we can write

$\dfrac{1}{x^2+5x-48}-\dfrac{1}{x^2+23x-210}=\dfrac{1}{(x-7)(x+12)}-\dfrac{1}{(x-7)(x+30)}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+30) -(x+12)}{(x-7)(x+12)(x+30)}=\dfrac{x+30-x-12}{(x-7)(x+12)(x+30)}\\\\=\dfrac{18}{(x-7)(x+12)(x+30)}$

hope this helps

A jogger goes 1.5km west and then turns south.If the jogger finishes 1.7 km from the starting point,how far south did the jogger

kakasveta [241]

Hello!

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs

Put in the values you know

$1.5^{2} + b^{2} = 1.7^{2}$

Square the numbers

$2.25+ b^{2} =2.89$

Subtract 2.25 from both sides

$b^{2} =0.64$

Take the square root of both sides

b = 0.8

The answer is 0.8km

Hope this helps!
