= [1÷((x2+x)+(2x+2))]+[1÷((x2+3x)+(2x+6))]
= [1 ÷ (x(x + 2) + 2(x +1))] + [1 ÷ (x(x + 3) +2(x + 3) )]
= [1 ÷ (x + 1)(x + 2)] + [1 ÷ ((x + 3) + (x + 2))]
=((x + 3) + (x + 1)) ÷ (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)
Using the L.C.M
=((x + x + 3 + 1)) ÷ (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)
=(2x+4)/(x+1)(x+2)(x+3) =2(x+2)/(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)

Factorize \(x^2 - 2x - 15\)
Awọn alaye Idahun
The expression x^2 - 2x - 15 can be factored into the product of two binomials. To find these binomials, we can use the "ac method," where we try to find two numbers that multiply to -15 and add up to -2. These numbers are -5 and 3. We can then write the expression as:
(x - 5)(x + 3)
So, the expression x^2 - 2x - 15 can be factored as (x - 5)(x + 3).

Find the value of x if \( [1 \div 64^{(x+2)}] = [4^{(x-3)} \div 16^x] \)
Awọn alaye Idahun
64−(x+2)=[4(x−3)]÷[16x]
Break down 4, 16 and 64 into smaller index numbers:
2−6(x+2)=22(x−3)÷24(x)
2−6x−12=22x−4x−6
2−6x−12=2−2x−6
− 6x − 12 = − 2x − 6
Collect the like terms:
−6x + 2x = −6 + 12

The formula for finding the simple interest on a principal amount P for a period of t years at an interest rate of r per annum is:
simple interest = P * r * t / 100
In this case, P = 325, t = 5, and r = 3, so we can plug in the values into the formula:
simple interest = 325 * 3 * 5 / 100
simple interest = 48.75
So, the simple interest on ₦325 in 5 years at 3% per annum is ₦48.75.

t/5(x + 3/5y ) = s − 2
[(t(5x + 3y) ÷ 25)] = s − 2
t(5x + 3y) = 25 (s − 2)
5x + 3y = [(25(s − 2))÷ t]
5x = [(25(s − 2))÷ t] − 3y
Divide both sides by 5

The formula for finding the number of elements in the union of two sets X and Y is:
n(X U Y) = nX + nY - n(X ∩ Y)
where nX is the number of elements in set X, nY is the number of elements in set Y, and n(X ∩ Y) is the number of elements in the intersection of X and Y. In this case, nX = 15, nY = 12, and n(X ∩ Y) = 7, so we can plug in the values into the formula:
n(X U Y) = 15 + 12 - 7
n(X U Y) = 20
So, the number of elements in the union of X and Y is 20.
