21*x=9*21
9*21=189
21*x=189
Divide 189 by 21 to solve for X or in this case "Blank"
189/21= 9
Answer:
X = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is what I am picturing (not to scale)
A ----------------B-----------C
We are given the information of AB (which equals 3x + 1), BC (which equals 4x - 5), and AC (which equals 8x - 9).
With reference to the line, AB + BC = AC
So,
3x + 1 + 4x - 5 = 8x - 9
7x - 4 = 8x - 9
5 = x
If the top of the fraction is less than the bottom, the fraction is less than one. However, Federico has raised 11/10 of what he needs and the top is bigger than the bottom so he’s raised the most money.
