i have the answer, 2-(3/x+2)
i got this from my calculator, however i need another line of working and i’m unsure of the process used to get there
Answers
Start with the answer format we want, and work your way toward forming a single fraction like so
[tex]a + \frac{b}{x+2}\\\\a*1+\frac{b}{x+2}\\\\a*\frac{x+2}{x+2}+\frac{b}{x+2}\\\\\frac{a(x+2)}{x+2}+\frac{b}{x+2}\\\\\frac{a(x+2)+b}{x+2}\\\\\frac{ax+2a+b}{x+2}\\\\\frac{ax+(2a+b)}{x+2}\\\\[/tex]
Compare that last expression to (2x+1)/(x+2). Notice how the ax and 2x match up, so a = 2 must be the case.
Then we have 2a+b as the remaining portion in the numerator. Plugging in a = 2 leads to 2a+b = 2*2+b = 4+b. Set this equal to the +1 found in (2x+1)/(x+2) to have the terms match.
So, 4+b = 1 leads to b = -3
Therefore, a = 2 and b = -3
------------------------------------------------
An alternative route:
[tex]\frac{2x+1}{x+2}\\\\\frac{2x+1+0}{x+2}\\\\\frac{2x+1+4-4}{x+2}\\\\\frac{(2x+4)+1-4}{x+2}\\\\\frac{2(x+2)-3}{x+2}\\\\\frac{2(x+2)}{x+2}+\frac{-3}{x+2}\\\\2-\frac{3}{x+2}\\\\[/tex]
I added and subtracted 4 in the third step so that I could form 2x+4, which then factors to 2(x+2). That way I could cancel out a pair of (x+2) terms toward the very end.
------------------------------------------------
Other alternative methods involve synthetic division or polynomial long division. They are slightly separate but related concepts.
Answer:
a = 2
b = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
the secret is seeing that the numerator (top part of the division) contains 2x. that means 2 times the factor of x in the denominator (bottom part of the division).
so, we want to change the numerator that we can simply say the result is 2 and some rest (remainder).
2×(x+2) would be 2x + 4
aha !
and we have 2x+1 up there. so, what had to happen to get from 2x+4 to 2x+1 ? we had to subtract 3. it to get to 2x+4 we have to add 3.
but if we add 3, we need also to subtract 3 to keep the value of the whole expression the same.
therefore we get
(2x+1)/(x+2) = (2x+4)/(x+2) - 3/(x+2) =
= 2×(x+2)/(x+2) - 3/(x+2) = 2 - 3/(x+2)

Si Martha retira de su cuenta el 10% para los transportes del mes. ¿Cuál es el nuevo saldo de la cuenta?
Answers
Respuesta:
0,9 veces
Explicación paso a paso:
Deje que la cantidad en la cuenta de Martha se denote como x, que es la cantidad en la cuenta = x
Porcentaje retirado para transporte = 10%
El porcentaje total siempre será del 100%
Por lo tanto, si se retira el 10%, entonces; el porcentaje restante es:
Porcentaje total: porcentaje gastado en transporte
(100% - 10%) * monto en cuenta
90% * x = 0,9 * x = 0,9x
Saldo de cuenta nueva = 0.9x

x = 9
CB = DB = 61
Step-by-step explanation:
∠CAB = ∠DAB
So, DB = CB {Sides opposite to equal angles are equal}
6x +7 = 3x+ 34
Subtract 7 from both sides.
6x = 3x + 34 - 7
6x = 3x + 27
Subtract 3x from both sides.
6x - 3x = 27
3x = 27
Divide both sides by 3
x = 27/3
x = 9
DB = 6x +7
= 6*9 + 7
= 54 + 7
DB = 61
CB = 3x + 34
= 3*9 + 34
= 27 + 34
CB = 61

HELP PLEASE!!! The readings on the thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of

A. 0.9750 B. 0.9970 C. 0.9950 D. 0.9850
Answers
Explanation:
You can use a calculator or a Z table here. I'll go with the table option.
Using a Z table, you should find that P(Z < -1.96) = 0.0250
So the remaining area must be 1 - 0.0250 = 0.9750 which represents P(Z > -1.96). This is the same as P(X > -1.96) because X is distributed identical to the Z distribution (mean = 0, std dev = 1).
If you go the calculator route, then it depends on which calculator or computer software you use. If you prefer this route, then let me know which calculator you're using and I'll try to find the correct input to type in for that calculator.
