So
if x is the number she spent on each sister and y is the number she spent on each nephew then
180=3x+2y

she wants to spend 15 dollars more on sisters than nephews
so
x=15+y
solve

we have
180=3x+2y and
x=15+y
subsitute 15+y for x

180=3(15+y)+2y
180=45+3y+2y
180=45+5y
minus 45 both sides
135=5y
divide both sides by 5
27=y

solve for x
x=15+y
x=15+27
x=42

she spent $42 on each sister

I need to know how to solve the problem:<br><br><br>3/2x+1/5x=11/6x-2/15
Schach [20]
3/2x + 1/5x = 11/6x - 2/15....to get rid of fractions, multiply by common denominator, which is 30.

45x + 6x = 55x - 4
51x = 55x - 4
51x - 55x = -4
-4x = -4
x = -4/-4
x = 1

<h3>Given:</h3>

angle CED = 45°

angle EDC = x

angle DCE = 2x

<h3>To Find:</h3>

The value of x.

<h3>Angle Sum Property:</h3>

The sum of all the Interior Angles of a triangle is 180°.

<h3>Solution:</h3>

x + 2x + 45° = 180°

or, 3x = 180° - 45°

or, 3x = 135°

or, x = 135/3 = 45°

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The value of x is 45°.
