We we are asked to solve this kind of problem we are asked to find the value of the value (x in this case). So the first thing we want to do isolate x by subtracting 5/12 from both sides.
x+5/12-5/12=5/8-5/12
Simplify
x=5/8-5/12
Reduce
x=3/3(5/8)-2/2(5/12)
x=15/24-10/24
x=5/24
Answer:
First choice is the correct one
Explanation:
The given is:
[(x+5) / (x+2)] - [(x+1) / x(x+2)]
First, we will need to have a common denominator and then we will solve the subtraction normally. To get a common denominator, we will have to multiply both numerator and denominator of first term by x.
Therefore:
[(x+5) / (x+2)] - [(x+1) / x(x+2)] = [x(x+5) / x(x+2)] - [(x+1) / x(x+2)]
= [x(x+5)-(x+1)] / [x(x+2)]
= (x^2 + 5x - x - 1) / [x(x+2)]
= [(x^2 + 4x - 1)] / [x(x+2)]
Hope this helps :)
The slope form equation is: y=mx+b so once you plug in the numbers available through the diagram you get.
y=3x+4
