Question

what is the simplified form of (4x+2)/(x+5) + (3x+1)/(x+5)?

Answer 1

7x + 3

4x + 3x - 2 + 5

Answer 2

how on earth did you get that ?

Answer 3

what do you mean

Answer 4

4x-6x+10+(8x/3)-(14/3)=0
-2x+8x/3=2x/3 & 10+(-14/3)=16/3
when you add both
2x/3 + 16/3=0
2x+16=0 (multiplying the complete equation with 3)
2x=-16
x=-8
the answer can't be 8 its -8

Answer 5

is that the answer ...?

Answer 6

yeah

Answer 7

A) x+1 / x+5 , B) x+3 / x+5 , C) 7x+1 / x+5 , D) 7x+3 / x+5

Answer 8

is that right ?

Answer 9

And thanks for the medal :)

Answer 10

idk i sent you the choices :P
& no problem :)

Answer 11

@alylee49
@justindrake has no clue what he's doing
the denominators are the same, so just add the numerators. you get:
\[\large{\frac{7x+3}{x+5}}\]

Answer 12

@btaylor hah okay thanks :)

Answer 13

Solve each equation. Check for extraneous solutions.
Equation: |5x-1|+7=3x
Here's what I did:
|5x-1|+7=3x
-7 -7
|5x+1|=3x-7
5x-1=3x-7 OR 5x-1=-(3x-7)
+1 +1
5x=3x-6
-3x -3x
2x=-6
-- --
2 2
x=-3
OR
5x-1=-(3x-7)
5x-1=-3x+7
8x = 8
x = 1
So, x=-3 or x=1.
CHECK:
|5x-1|+7=3x
|5(-3)-1|+7=+3(-3)
|-15-1|+7=-9
|-16|+7=-9
16+7=-9
23=9
But 23 doesn't equal 9. At first I thought it was just an exraneous solution. But then I checked the second number:
|5x-1|+7=3x
|5(1)-1|+7=3(1)
|5-1|+7=3
|4|+7=3
4+7=3
11=3
But again, 11 doesn't equal 3.
-----------------------------------------
Your work is correct.
Both "solution" are extraneous.

If you graph the left side and the right side of the equation
separately, you will see that they do not intersect, i.e. they
are never equal.

Answer 14

here you go alye

Answer 15

@BTaylor i have clue

Answer 16

@justindrake i'm not looking for what x is though :P just the simplified form.

Answer 17

@alylee49 but i helped u to

Answer 18

@justindrake how can you solve if there's no equals sign?

Answer 19

shut up bt please i dont want to fight with YOU BOO

Answer 20

alright. I'll shut up. but i'm not even talking...
