I have a strong feeling your equation was meant to say
5/(y+4) + 11/(y^2 + y - 12) = 7/(y-3)
because of the proximity of the + and = signs, also since y^2 + y - 12 = (y+4)(y-3)
so multiply each term by y^2 + y - 12
5(y-3) + 11 = 7(y+4)
5y - 15 + 11 = 7y + 28
-2y = 32
y = -16
#4
width --- x
length ---- 2x+2
2(2x+2 + x) = 40
6x + 4 = 40
6x = 36
x = 6
so the length is 2(6) + 2 = 14
#7
correct
#16
You left out the operation sign, I will assume it is >
|x+4| > 6
x+4>6 or -x-4 >6
x>2 or -x > 10
x> 2 or x < -10
if the statement was |x+4| < 6
we would have
-10 < x < 2
call me old-fashioned but my notation is more indicative than the "interval" notation that seems to be used quite often these days.
To check the answers provided, let me walk you through the process of solving each problem:
#2: Solving the equation 5/y+4 + 11/y^2 = y-12 = 7/y-3 for y:
Step 1: Find a common denominator for the fractions on the left side of the equation. The common denominator is y^2(y + 4).
Step 2: Rewrite the equation with a common denominator: (5(y) + 4(11))/(y^2(y + 4)) = y - 12 - 7(y + 4)/(y^2(y + 4)).
Step 3: Simplify the equation: (5y + 44)/(y^2(y + 4)) = y - 12 - (7y + 28)/(y^2(y + 4)).
Step 4: Clear the fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by y^2(y + 4).
Step 5: Simplify the resulting equation and rearrange to get it in the form y = ...
Step 6: Calculate the value of y.
To check if -2 is the correct answer, substitute y = -2 into the original equation and verify if both sides are equal. If they are, then -2 is the correct answer.
#4: Let's set up the problem using the information given:
Let x be the width of the rectangle.
The length of the rectangle is 2 cm more than twice its width, so the length is 2x + 2.
The perimeter of the rectangle is given as 40 cm, which means 2(width + length) = 40.
Solve the equation for x, which represents the width of the rectangle.
To check if 9 cm is the correct answer, substitute x = 9 into the equation for the length and compute the perimeter. If the perimeter is indeed 40 cm, then 9 cm is the correct answer.
#7: To find out how long it would take the two printers to print the labels together, add up their individual printing rates.
Printer 1 can print the labels in 40 minutes, so its printing rate is 1/40 labels per minute.
Printer 2 can print the labels in 60 minutes, so its printing rate is 1/60 labels per minute.
To calculate the combined printing rate, add the rates of the two printers together (1/40 + 1/60).
The combined printing rate will be 1/(1/40 + 1/60).
To check if 24 minutes is the correct answer, compare the combined printing rate with the time it takes to complete the job. If the ratio of time to combined printing rate is equal to the number of labels, then 24 minutes is the correct answer.
#16: To solve the inequality |x + 4| ≤ 6, we need to consider two cases: when the expression inside the absolute value is positive and when it is negative.
Case 1: (x + 4) ≤ 6. Solve this inequality for x.
Case 2: -(x + 4) ≤ 6. Solve this inequality for x.
Combine the solutions from both cases and write the solution in interval notation.
To check if the interval (-10, 2) is the correct answer, substitute values within that interval into the inequality and verify if the inequality holds true. If it does, then (-10, 2) is the correct answer.
