3 because 3•3 is 9 and 9•3 is 27
Second answer if it still helps
To find the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away, you need to know how much she gave the son. Because the ratio of the money given is 5:6, the amount of money he received has to be 5/6 of the money the daughter received.
So, the son received 5/6 of 2400.
To find this, multiply 5/6 x 2400 to get 2000.
The daughter received 2400 and the son received 2000, so the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away is 4400 dollars.
7+10x-2x-2=-3
—-Combine like terms...10x-2x=8x and 7-2=5
8x+5=-3
——subtract 5 on both sides.. the 5’s will cancel each other and -3-5=-8
8x=-8
——Divide 8 on both sides...the 8’s will cancel out and -8 divided by 8 = -1
Answer: x = -1
