Explanation

Use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²  

7² = 25 + 2ab  

49 = 25 + 2ab  

2ab = 49 - 25 = 24  

ab = 12

Explanation

Use partial fractions: (4x + 6)/(x(x + 3)) = A/x + B/(x + 3)  

4x + 6 = A(x + 3) + Bx = (A + B)x + 3A  

Equate:  

3A = 6 → A = 2  

A + B = 4 → 2 + B = 4 → B = 2  

So (4x + 6)/(x(x + 3)) = 2/x + 2/(x + 3)

Explanation

f(1 - x) = (1 - x)² + 3(1 - x) = 1 - 2x + x² + 3 - 3x = x² - 5x + 4  

f(x) = x² + 3x  

f(1 - x) - f(x) = (x² - 5x + 4) - (x² + 3x) = -8x + 4 = 4(1 - 2x)

Explanation

y ∝ 1/x → y = k/x  

When x = 3, y = 15:  

15 = k/3 → k = 45  

So y = 45/x  

When y = 5:  

5 = 45/x → x = 45/5 = 9

Explanation

(x + 2)/(x - 2) = 2, x ≠ 2

x + 2 = 2(x - 2)  

x + 2 = 2x - 4  

2 + 4 = 2x - x  

6 = x
