So he spent 1600 so x will represent original savings so
x-1600
then he spent 2/5 of the remainder on a refrigerator so
[(x-1600)2]/5
he had 1/3 of original savings left
[(x-1600)2]/5=1/3x
distrubute
(2x-3200)/5=1/3x
multiply both sides by 15
3(2x-3200)=5x
distrubute
6x-9600=5x
subtract 5x from both sides
x-9600=0
add 9600 to both sides
x=9600

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

153 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion:

34/4 = x/18.

18/4 does not equal a whole number. So, reduce 34/4.

34/4 becomes (when divided by 2 on both the top and the bottom) 17/2.

18/2=9. 9*17=153.

What does x equal if the circumference of a circle equals 113.04
Sveta_85 [38]
Circumference=2(pi)r or (pi)d
You know that Circumference=113.04
You know that the diameter=2x+4
Plug what you know into the equation and solve for x.
   C     =(pi)    d
113.04=(pi)(2x+4)

Can you help me solve this equation?
dem82 [27]

Sure

Answer:

x = -2

If the steps aren't belong to the lesson that you want, just tell me the lesson title so I can get the answer for you !!!!

...

The steps

Multiply all terms by (x-3)(x+3) and cancel:

x(x+3)+2x(x−3)=18

3x2−3x=18(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3x2−3x−18=18−18(Subtract 18 from both sides)

3x2−3x−18=0

3(x+2)(x−3)=0(Factor left side of equation)

x+2=0 or x−3=0(Set factors equal to 0)

x=−2 or x=3

Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)

x=−2 (Works in original equation)

x=3 (Doesn't work in original equation)
