Please help with this problem

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by (x-5) and expand:

(x+4)/(x-5)*(x-5) = -2(x-5)

x+4 = -2x+10

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x+4-4 = -2x+10-4

x = -2x+6

Add 2x to both sides:

x+2x = -2x+6+2x

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2

X=2

Your welcome.

(btw the comment i made was wrong)

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
