We want to subtract 8x + 3 from -2x+5. We can create an expression to represent this.
-2x + 5 - (8x + 3).
After this, lets distribute the - sign (think of this like expanding something with -1).
-2x + 5 - 8x - 3
Lastly, we just need to combine like terms.
-2x + 5 - 8x - 3
Combine the 5 and -3 to get 2.
-2x + 2 - 8x
Combine the -2x and -8x to get -10x.
-10x + 2
The final answer to the question is therefore A.
Assuming that your question is (x-1)(x+2) = [5(x-1)]/x-1
On the right side, the x-1's will cancel out, leaving you with (x-1)(x+2) = 5
expand the left side, giving you x^2 + x -2 = 5
which goes to x^2 +x -7 = 0
the possible values for x are 2.93 and -3.93. I don't think this was your question, so I'll do the other possible question that you might have been asking.
(x-1)(x+2) = 5(x-1)
divide by x-1 on both sides, leaving you with x+2=5
x+2=5
x=5-3
x=3
Answer:
C . Sample : 6 boy and 7 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Data :
Boys = 150
Girls = 175
So ratio between boys and girls
175/150 = 1.67
So when boy is 6
6 ×1.667 = 7
