Without LCD :
1/2(4x + 6) = 1/3(9x - 24)
2x + 3 = 3x - 8
2x - 3x = -8 - 3
-x = - 11
x = 11

with LCD :
1/2(4x + 6) = 1/3(9x - 24) ...multiply by 6
3(4x + 6) = 2(9x - 24)
12x + 18 = 18x - 48
12x - 18x = -48 - 18
-6x = - 66
x = -66/-6
x = 11

Yes, the answers are the same :)

What is the value of x in this proportion?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

  (a)  -20 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion can be solved using "cross multiply" as the first step. This eliminates the fractions and turns it into a linear equation.

  2/7 = -5/(x +3) . . . . . given

  2(x +3) = -35 . . . . . . multiply by 7(x +3)

  2x = -41 . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 6

  x = -20 1/2 . . . . . . divide by 2

On a partly cloudy day, Derek decides to walk back from work. When it is sunny, he walks at a speed of s miles/hr (s is an integ
Setler [38]

Answer:\frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

sunny day speed= s mph

Rainy day speed=s+1 mph

Derek average speed =2.8 miles/hr

s<2.8<s+1

so on sunny day speed must be 2 mph

and on rainy day speed must be 3 mph

v_{avg}=\frac{distance}{time\ taken}

Let x be the distance traveled in sunny and y be the distance traveled in rainy weather

2.8=\frac{x+y}{\frac}{x}{2}+\frac{y}{3}}

Let \frac{x}{y}=z

2.8=\frac{z+1}{\frac{z}{2}+\frac{1}{3}}

z=\frac{1}{6}

Fraction of distance traveled on sunny weather

\frac{x}{x+y}=\frac{z}{z+1}=\frac{1}{7}
