Question

Determine the value of A in the rational equation given. (A/(x-4)) + (1/(x-5)) = (-x+6)/(x^2 = 9x + 20)

Answer 1

@geerky42 Mind helping me?

Answer 2

Too many equal signs.

Answer 3

\[\dfrac{A}{x-4} + \dfrac{1}{x-5} = \dfrac{-x+6}{x^2 - 9x + 20}\]Right?

Answer 4

I bet your right @geerky42 since (x-4)(x-5)
is x^2-9x+20

Answer 5

@geerky42 sorry I was brb

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Can you combine fractions on left side?

Answer 8

\[\dfrac{A}{x-4} + \dfrac{1}{x-5} = ~?\]

Answer 9

I simplified and got xA-5A+2/(x-4)(x-5) but i'm sure you aren't suppose to simplify
