Chapter 0: Problem 52
A repair bill on a sailboat came to \(\$ 1603,\) including \(\$ 532\) for parts and the remainder for labor. If the cost of labor is \(\$ 63\) per hour, how many hours of labor did it take to repair the sailboat?

Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$\frac{2 x-1}{x-7}+\frac{3 x-1}{x-7}-\frac{5 x-2}{x-7}=0$$
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I can check inequalities by substituting 0 for the variable: When 0 belongs to the solution set, I should obtain a true statement, and when 0 does not belong to the solution set. I should obtain a false statement.
What's wrong with this argument? Suppose \(x\) and \(y\) represent two real numbers, where \(x>y .\) $$\begin{aligned} &2>1\\\ &2(y-x)>1(y-x)\\\ &2 y-2 x>y-x\\\ &\begin{aligned} y-2 x &>-x \\ y &>x \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$$ The final inequality, \(y>x,\) is impossible because we were initially given \(x>y\)
Write a quadratic equation in general form whose solution set is \(\\{-3,5\\}\).
Explain how to add rational expressions having no common factors in their denominators. Use \(\frac{3}{x+5}+\frac{7}{x+2}\) in your explanation.
