The values of x are x = -0.77 and x = 3.27

<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>

To calculate the value of x. we start by using the following equivalent ratio

2x : (3.5 + x + 1.5) = x + 0.5 : x + 1.5

Evaluate the like terms

2x : (5 + x) = x + 0.5 : x + 1.5

Express the ratio as a fraction

2x/5 + x = x + 0.5/x + 1.5

Cross multiply

2x(x + 1.5) = (5 + x)(x + 0.5)

Open the brackets

2x^2 + 3x = 5x + 2.5 + x^2 + 0.5x

Evaluate the like terms

x^2 - 2.5x - 2.5 = 0

Using a graphing calculator, we have

x = -0.77 and x = 3.27

Hence, the values of x are x = -0.77 and x = 3.27

QUICK What is the solution to this system of equations? 3.2 x + 0.5 y = 4.2. Negative 1.6 x minus 0.5 y = 3.4.
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The solution is x=4.75  and   y = -22

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to the system of equations, we will follow the steps below:

3.2x + 0.5y = 4.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------(1)

-1.6x -0.5y = 3.4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------(2)

add equation (1) and equation (2)

1.6x =7.6

Divide both-side of the equation by 1.6 to get the value of x

1.6x /1.6 =7.6/1.6

x =4.75

substitute x = 4.75 into equation (1) and solve for y

3.2(4.75) + 0.5y = 4.2

15.2 + 0.5y = 4.2

subtract 15.2 from both-side of the equation

15.2 - 15.2 + 0.5y = 4.2-15.2

0.5y = -11

Divide both-side of the equation by 0.5

0.5y/0.5 = -11/0.5

y = -22

The solution is x=4.75  and   y = -22
