Answer 1

google it?

Answer 2

no wait i got it

Answer 3

Subtract 4 from both sides. Square both the equations (√x+2)^2 = (x - 4)^2 x + 2 = (x - 4)(x - 4) x + 2 = x^2 - 4x - 4x + 16 x + 2 = x^2 - 8x + 16 subtract x ...:Subtract 4 from both sides Square both the equations ( x+2)^2 = (x - 4)^2 x + 2 = (x - 4)(x - 4) x + 2 = x^2 - 4x - 4x + 16 x + 2 = x^2 - 8x + 16 subtract x from both sides 2 = x^2 - 9x + 16 Subtract 2 from both sides 0 = x^2 - 9x + 14 Set up to parentheses with: 0 = (x - 2) (x - 7) set them both equal to 0 x - 2 = 0 x - 7 = 0 x = -2 x = -7 Check your work. The last ones im still doing i have algebra 2 online
Question:OK so i have these two equations that i tried solving 10 times and even got help from how they did similar problems in the book but I DID NOT get the same answer as there was in the back of the book! please help! and please just don't don't give me the answer, please show me how to do it with details!! click the link to see the equations: http://s144.photobucket.com/albums/r171/babybella_2007/?action=view&current=eq.jpg In the book of the book , these were the answers the first questions answer is: -5/3 , The second answer is 12/29 I :1. -2 / (x + 3) = 1 / (x + 1) - 2 (x + 1) = 1 (x + 3) -2x - 2 = x + 3 - 2x - x = 3 + 2 - 3x = 5 x = - 5/3 2. (4/x) + (1/3) = 10 4/x = 10 - (1/3) 4/x = (30/3) - (1/3) 4/x = 29/3 4 = (29/3)x 12 = 29x x = 12/29
