What is a solution to the equation 3 / m + 3 - M / 3 - M equals m^2 + 9 / m^2-9?​
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given the equation:

\frac{3}{m+3}-\frac{m}{3-m}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}

Follow these steps to solve it:

- Subtract the fractions on the left side of the equation:

\frac{3(3-m)-m(m+3)}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}\\\\\frac{9-3m-m^2-3m}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}\\\\\frac{-m^2-6m+9}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}

- Using the Difference of squares formula (a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)) we can simplify the denominator of the right side of the equation:

\frac{-m^2-6m+9}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{(m+3)(m-3)}

- Multiply both sides of the equation by (m+3)(3-m) and simplify:

\frac{(-m^2-6m+9)(m+3)(3-m)}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{(m^2+9)(m+3)(3-m)}{(m+3)(m-3)}\\\\-m^2-6m+9=\frac{(m^2+9)(3-m)}{(m-3)}

- Multiply both sides by m-3:

(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=\frac{(m^2+9)(3-m)(m-3)}{(m-3)}\\\\(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=(m^2+9)(3-m)

- Apply Distributive property and simplify:

(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=(m^2+9)(3-m)\\\\-m^3-6m^2+9m+3m^2+18m-27=3m^2+27-m^3-9m\\\\-m^3-3m^2+27m-27+m^3-3m^2+9m-27=0\\\\-6m^2+36m-54=0

- Divide both sides of the equation by -6:

\frac{-6m^2+36m-54}{-6}=\frac{0}{-6}\\\\m^2-6m+9=0

- Factor the equation and solve for "m":

(m-3)^2=0\\\\m=3

In order to verify it, you must substitute m=3 into the equation and solve it:

\frac{3}{3+3}-\frac{3}{3-3}=\frac{3^2+9}{3^2-9}\\\\\frac{3}{6}-\frac{3}{0}=\frac{18}{0}

The scale in the drawing is 2 cm : 5 m. Select from the drop down the correct numbers into the boxes to give the length, width,
Gelneren [198K]

The length, width, and area will be 25m, 15m, and 375m².

<h3>How to calculate the area?</h3>

From the information given, the scale in the drawing is 2cm : 5m and the length and width are given as 10cm and 6cm respectively.

Length = 10cm = 10 × 2.5 = 25m

Width = 6cm = 6 × 2.5m = 15m

Area = Length × Width

Area = 25 × 15

Area = 375m²

Therefore, the area is 375m².
