We want to solve
Subtract 2/(2x+1) from each side.
Add 1/4 to each side, and simplify the left side.
Cross multiply.
4(x - 2) = 1(2x + 1)
4x - 8 = 2x + 1
Simplify and solve for x.
4x - 2x = 1 + 8
2x = 9
x = 9/2 or x = 4 1/2.

Answer:
The answer is srry I needed the points! lol
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
Kim's age=k
Sister's age=s
k=2s
k+s=36
b)
k=2s
k+s=36
k=36-s
2s=36-s
3s=36
s=12
12*2=24
Kim is 24 and her sister is 12
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
<h2>$351.9</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
the question is not formatted well
<em>A store charges $414 for a small refrigerator, the price consists of the refrigerator's original cost to the store plus a profit 15% what was the refrigerator's original cost to the store?</em>
Step one:
given data
we are told that the price of the small refrigerator contains both the original price and 15% profit
mathematically
$414= original price + 15% profit
Step two:
let us solve for 15% of 414
=(15/100)*414
=0.15*414
=$62.1
This shows that the profit is $62.1
let the original price be x
$414= x + 62.1
solve for x
x=414-62.1
x=351.9
<u>The refrigerator's original cost to the store $351.9</u>
