Question 8
PolynomialsGiven that (6x + m)/(2x2 + 7x − 15) = 4/(x + 5) − 2/(2x − 3), find the value of m.
- A.20
- B.12
- C.−10
- D.−22
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: D (−22)
Explanation
6x + m = 4(2x − 3) − 2(x + 5) = 6x − 22, so m = −22.
Given that (6x + m)/(2x2 + 7x − 15) = 4/(x + 5) − 2/(2x − 3), find the value of m.
Answer: D (−22)
6x + m = 4(2x − 3) − 2(x + 5) = 6x − 22, so m = −22.
