Question

Dividing Polynomial question
Find the missing dividend or divisor ?/x-5=x-11

Answer 1

How would you solve this for y?
y/2=8

Answer 2

Try and do it and I will learn from the steps ,I have done some other problem in polynomial but i dont understand when they ask find the missing dividend or divisor thats why i post it here

Answer 3

\[\frac{y}{2}=8\]

Since we want y and y is being divided by 2, to undo the division by 2 we multiply by 2.
If we multiply by 2 on one side then we do it to the other side as well.
\[2 \cdot \frac{y}{2}=2 \cdot 8\]
\[y=16\]

Answer 4

Now and your question you are asked to find the ? in:
\[\frac{?}{x-5}=x-11 \]

You do the same thing we did to find y.

Answer 5

If we have p/q, then q is the divisor and p is the dividend.

Answer 6

so is 6

Answer 7

No...

Answer 8

Like when we had y/2=8 To find y we just multiply both sides by what it is being divided by. So do that here for the ?.

Answer 9

I will figure it out myself ,I appreciate thanks

Answer 10

If you have ?/(x-2)=x-1
All you do is multiply both sides by (x-2) like this
?=(x-2)(x-1)

Answer 11

Just like if you had y/8=2
multiply both sides by 8
y=8(2)

Answer 12

If you had ?/star=fish, then ?=star*fish

Answer 13

Dont worry anymore .I will figure the problem myself

Answer 14

I'm only worried you are making this way harder than it is.

Answer 15

I am not ,I ask you if you can help me solved it ,Math is hard ,I was given 30 questions on polynomial and I have already solved 28 questions ...I only have Just 2 question that I think is given me headache ..So I will relax a little and I will go back to it and do it myself ...I was thinking I can see someone to help me with it .

Answer 16

So like I'm trying to be helpful here I promise.
Like tell me what you don't understand on how to get the ? by itself?
\[\frac{?}{x-5}=x-11\]

Answer 17

Or what you don't understand about the explanation I have given?

Answer 18

To undo division by (x-5), we multiply both sides by what
