Will is W years old.Ben is 3 years older.
Jan is twice as old as Ben.

If you add together the ages of Will, Ben, and Jan the total comes to 41 years

1. W+3= ben age (W+3)*2= Jan age for all three: w+(w+3)+(w+3)2

Solve for x<br> (1/x) -2/3 = (4x)

Vadim26 [7]

The value of x is $x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{37}}{12}$ and $x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{37}}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is $\frac{1}{x}-\frac{2}{3}=4 x$

Subtracting by $4x$ on both sides,

$\frac{1}{x}-\frac{2}{3}-4 x=0$

Taking LCM,

$\frac{3-12 x^{2}-2 x}{3 x}=0$

Multiplying by 3x on both sides,

$-12 x^{2}-2 x+3=0$

Dividing by (-) on both sides,

$12 x^{2}+2 x-3=0$

Using quadratic formula, we can solve for x.

$\begin{aligned}x &=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{2^{2}-4 \cdot 12 \cdot(-3)}}{2 \cdot 12} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4+144}}{2 \cdot 144} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{148}}{24} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm 2 \sqrt{37}}{24}\end{aligned}$

Taking out common term 2, we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-2(1 \pm \sqrt{37})}{24}} \\{x=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{37}}{12}}\end{array}$

Thus, the value of x is $x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{37}}{12}$ and $x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{37}}{12}$

46 out of 200 dogs are short haired breeds. What percent of dogs are not short haired breeds

Ivahew [28]

Hi!

46 out of 200 are short haired, which means that 200 - 46 = 154 out of 200 are not short haired. In percentages, that is:

154/200 = 77/100 = 77%

Hope this helps!

A jar contains 8 4/9 pounds of jam. If Sam eats 3 2/5 pounds of the jam, how many pounds of jam remains in the jar?

zepelin [54]

$\bf 8\frac{4}{9}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 9+4}{9}\implies \cfrac{76}{9}
\\\\\\
3\frac{2}{5}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+2}{5}\implies \cfrac{17}{5}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{76}{9}-\cfrac{17}{5}\impliedby \textit{let's use an LCD of 45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 76-9\cdot 17}{45}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{380-153}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}\implies \boxed{5\frac{2}{45}}
\\\\\\
5\frac{2}{45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 45+2}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}$
