Solve for x and state all x-values that are excluded from the solution set. 5/(x+1)+1/(x-3)=-6/(x^2-2x-3)

Factor x^2 - 2x - 3

5/x + 1 + 1/x - 3 = -6/(x - 3)(x + 1)

Multiply both sides by the Least Common Denominator (LCD): (x + 1)(x - 3)

5(x - 3) + x + 1 = -6

Simplify

6x - 14 = -6

Add 14 to both sides

6x = -6 + 14

Simplify -6 + 14 to 8

6x = 8

Divide both sides by 6

x = 8/6

Simplify 8/6 to 4/3

x = 4/3

step-by-step explanation:

if x = 2 you have to find x to finish the problem

answer: 33 ( approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, in the linear regression formula, the slope is the a in the equation y = b + ax ( by comparing it with the general equation of line y = mx + c )

where,

here given table is,

price ($), x   :           18         23       25       29       30       33

pairs sold, y :         16         13         10       8         6       2

so, ,   ,   ,

and   ,

thus, slop of the given line is,

⇒  

⇒   ≈ 33
