denominators are opposites, or additive inverses. Add or subtract as indicated. Simplify the result, if possible. $$\frac{3-x}{x-7}-\frac{2 x-5}{7-x}$$
denominators are opposites, or additive inverses. Add or subtract as indicated. Simplify the result, if possible. $$\frac{x-2}{x^{2}-25}-\frac{x-2}{25-x^{2}}$$
Two investments have interest rates that differ by \(1 \% .\) An investment for 1 year at the lower rate earns 175 . The same principal invested for a year at the higher rate earns 200 dollars . What are the two interest rates?
denominators are opposites, or additive inverses. Add or subtract as indicated. Simplify the result, if possible. $$\frac{6 x+5}{x-2}+\frac{4 x}{2-x}$$
Anthropologists and forensic scientists classify skulls using $$ \frac{L+60 W}{L}-\frac{L-40 W}{L} $$ where \(L\) is the skull's length and \(W\) is its width. a. Express the classification as a single rational expression. b. If the value of the rational expression in part (a) is less than \(75,\) a skull is classified as long. A medium skull has a value between 75 and \(80,\) and a round skull has a value over \(80 .\) Use your rational expression from part (a) to classify a skull that is 5 inches wide and 6 inches long.
