Correct answers only ! i cannot retake which statement best reflects the solution(s) of the equation?

x = 3

              x = 2 is restricted (aka extraneous)

Step-by-step explanation:

- =

- =

RESTRICTIONS: x - 1 ≠ 0  → x ≠ 1 and x - 2 ≠ 0  →  x ≠ 2 (because the denominator cannot equal zero)

- =

x(x - 2) - 1(x - 1) = 2x - 5

x² - 2x - x + 1 = 2x - 5

x² - 3x + 1 = 2x - 5

    -2x  +5   -2x  +5

x² - 5x + 6 = 0

(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0

x - 2 = 0         x - 3 = 0

  +2  +2          +3  +3

x      = 2          x      = 3     These are the solutions, but x = 2 is restricted

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
