So you don't know the value of x, y, or z; all you're told is to solve for x. This is not impossible (even though it may seem like it). Your answer will have several variables in it, but in algebra you won't always have the complete answer.
Start with the equation: 4x - 5 / y = 2z
The first thing you'll want to do to it is try to get x alone on one side.
4x - 5 / y = 2z
+5 +5 --> 4x / y = 2z +5
*y *y --> 4x = y (2z + 5)
/4 /4 --> x = (y (2z + 5)) / 4
Your final answer will be: x = (y (2z +5)) / 4
Hope it makes sense to you!!
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, this may come out weird on computer, but here we go.
First, you want to change this into a multiplication problem, with Keep change flip. So now it's (c^2-c-20/c^2-6c+5) * (3c-3/c^2-16). You then want to simplify some number down.
You can simplify the first part using the X game (not sure if you know this), but you put the c value at the top, and the B value at the bottom, and the two sides blank. These two values must add to equal the C value, but multiply to equal the B value, so you get -5 and 4 for the numerator of the top. Following this formula, and using difference of perfect squares, you'll end up with the following.
(c-5)(c+4)/(c-5)(c-1) * 3(c-1)/(c+4)(c-4)
You then need to cancel out your different groups, so you'll cancel out (c-5), (c+4), (c-1).
After all that, you'll end up with 3/c-4, so the answer is A.
I can not only easily see the material I will need in the future, I can also start learning on my own, and also use it to look up stuff we are using in class.
