3x - 9x = -21 + 4
-6x = -17
x = -17/-6
x = 17/6

3x - 4 = 9x - 21

Subtract 9x from both sides.

3x - 9x - 4 = -21

Add 4 to both sides.

3x - 9x = -21 + 4

Simplify.

-6x = -17

Divide both sides by -6.

x = 17/6 AND 2 5/6

For a school fund raising project, Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio of 3.5 : 6.8. Jacob collected $115.50 more than

user100 [1]

X - the amount of money collected by Aiden
y - the amount of money collected by Jacob

Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio of 3.5 : 6.8.
$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3.5}{6.8} \\
6.8x=3.5y \\
x=\frac{3.5}{6.8}y \\ x=\frac{35}{68}y$

Jacob collected $115.50 more than Aiden.
$x+115.5=y \\
x=y-115.5 \\ \\
x=x \\
\frac{35}{68}y=y-115.5 \\
\frac{35}{68}y-y=-115.5 \\
\frac{35}{68}y-\frac{68}{68}y=-115.5 \\
-\frac{33}{68}y=-115.5 \\
y=-115.5 \times (-\frac{68}{33}) \\
y=238 \\ \\
x=y-115.5=238-115.5=122.5 \\ \\
x+y=238+122.5=360.5$

The total amount of money they collected is $360.50.
