Hello,
Let's r the ration
We suppose x ≠0
x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)
x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6
x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2
Ration 3/2
First term: 4
The Answer is 94.2 cubic inches
Answer:
if you're talking about slope intercept then
y= 8/5x + 11/5
Simple,
writing out the problem...

Simplify it...
-4x(6+5-1)
-4x(11-1)
-4x(10)
-40x

Yes you can! Say you have 5(2 + x) + 3x. The answer would be 10+8x because when you use the distributive property you will end up getting 5*2 5*x and once you multiply, it's obvious 5 times 2 is 10 and 5 times x will equal 5x. Then you add 5x and 3x and get 8x. So, the simplified expression here is 10+8x. When you have this as an answer it's proving your answer right. You can without using the distributive property. We can have 10+5x+3x and it will be your simplified expression. It's the same thing with equations too.
