Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{4x}{x+1}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{x^2+x}[/tex] ← factor denominator

[tex]\frac{4x}{x+1}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{x(x+1)}[/tex]

[ x ≠ 0, x ≠ - 1 as these would make the terms undefined ]

Multiply through by x(x + 1)

4x² - 5(x + 1) = 4

4x² - 5x - 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

4x² - 5x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 1)(4x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

4x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 9 ⇒ x = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

However, x ≠ - 1 for reason given above, then

solution is x = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

Answer:

x = 3 and y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are :

y=5x−10 ..(1)

y=−3x+14 ...(2)

Subtract equation (2) from (1).

y-y = 5x−10-(−3x+14)

0 = 5x-10+3x-14

0= 8x-24

8x = 24

x = 3

Put the value of x in equation (1).

y=5(3)−10

= 15-10

y = 5

So, the values of x and y are 3 and 5 respectively.

Answer:

yes,  point (4, 25) satisfies the equation y = 7x + –3

Step-by-step explanation:

to see if the point satisfies the equation, we need to plug in the x coordinate to get y

if y is equal to the y-coordinate, then the point satisfies the equation

if y does not equal the y-coordinate, then the point does not satisfy the equation:

y = 7(4) + - 3

y = 28 + -3

y = 25

does 25 = 25? Yes! so the point satisfied the equation

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

7(x)- 3 = y

7(4) - 3 = (y)

28 - 3 = 25

Answer:

94

Step-by-step explanation:

Average = sum of numbers /  number of items in the set

for the first list, the average is 90 and there are four numbers, the sum of the numbers is 90 x 4 = 360

If the 4th number is 80, the sum of the first 3 numbers = 360 - 80 = 280

so the sum of the first three numbers on the second list is 260. The fourth number is 96. The sum of the numbers = 280 + 96 = 376

Average of the new list = 376 / 4 = 94

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=36

lets name the 2 numbers a,b

b=a+18

a+a+18=36

2a=36-18

2a=18

a=9

b=27

Answer:

the numbers are 9 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

equation to the problem: x+y=36

one number (y) is 18 times greater than the other number (x): x+18=y

plug in the 2nd equation to the first equation (systems of equations):

x+(x+18)=36

solve the equation:

2x+18=36

*minus 18 on both sides*

2x=18

*divide the whole equation by 2 to get the value of just one x*

x=9

since variable x is the n smaller number, add 18 to 9 to get the 2nd number:

18+9= 27

y=27

Answer:

f = 1.1 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The velocity of an ocean wave, v = 4.4 m/s

The distance  between the crest of each wave is 4 m.

We need to find the frequency of the waves.

The distance between the crest of a wave is called the wavelength of a wave.

The relation between the frequency, wavelength and the velocity of a wave is given by :

[tex]v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{4.4}{4}\\\\f=1.1\ Hz[/tex]

So, the frequency of the waves is 1.1 Hz.

Answer:

x=4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x+8)=60x

6x+24=60x

6x+24-24=60x-24 -60x

-54x=-24

-54x= -24

x= 4/9

This is a special kind of right triangle, called a 30-60-90 triangle.

Across from the 30 degree angle, the side is equal to x. Across from the 60 degree angle, the side is equal to x[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]. And across from the 90 degree angle, the side is equal to 2x.

Using what we know about 30-60-90 triangles, lets first solve for x. We know that the hypotenuse, given, is equal to 6.

2x = 6

x = 3

Then, we are looking for the side opposite of the 60 degree angle. So its value is  x[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex].

x = 3

3 *  [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] = 3 [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

y =  3[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] (option D)

Hope this helps!! :)

The value of y for the given triangle will be  3√3, hence option (D) will be correct.

A triangle is a 3-sided shape that is occasionally referred to as a triangle. There are three sides and three angles in every triangle, some of which may be the same.

Right angle triangles are triangles in which one angle is 90°.

The sum of all three angles inside a triangle will be 180° and the area of a triangle is given as (1/2) × base × height.

Given a right-angle triangle

Let the side opposite to 30° is perpendicular and the remaining y will be base.

By trigonometric relation

cosx = base/hypotenuse

cos30° = y/6  

y = 6 × cos30°  ⇒  y = 6 ×  √3/2

y = 3√3 hence the value of the hypotenuse or y will be 3√3.

Answer:

  15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let t represent the time in hours that Kara ran today. Then her distance today is ...

  distance = speed · time

  distance = 6t

Her total distance for both days is ...

  5 + 6t = 6.5

  6t = 1.5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5

  t = 1.5/6 = 1/4 . . . . . divide by 6

Kara ran 1/4 hour today. That is 15 minutes.
