Algebra.Com's Answer #345564 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the two denominators on the right are factors of the denominator on the left\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiplying by x^2-7x+10 ___ 1 = x(x-2) + 1(x-5) ___ 0 = x^2 - x - 6\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "factoring ___ 0 = (x - 3)(x + 2)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x - 3 = 0 ___ x = 3\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 = 0 ___ x = -2 \n" ); document.write( " |
