Answer: John:£800

Rachel:£1600

Step-by-step explanation:

Since John and Rachel shared £2400 in the ratio 2:4, it means that £2400 was equal to(2+4) units, which is 6 units.

Thus, each unit is £2400/6= £400

Hence, John got £400x2=£800, and Rachel got £400x4=1600.

Hope u understand my solution. :)

2(3x+2)=2x+28 What is x?

kherson [118]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

2(3x + 2) = 2x + 28

(2 * 3x) + (2 * 2) = 2x + 28

(6x) + (4) = 2x + 28

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides

6x + 4 - 2x = 2x + 28 - 2x

4x + 4 = 28

Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides

4x + 4 - 4 = 28 - 4

4x = 24

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4

4x / 4 = 24 / 4

x = 6

Answer: x = 6
