Answer:
x = -11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios need to stay the same
5x 11
----- = -------
x-2 3
Using cross products
5x*3 = (x-2) 11
15x = 11x - 22
Subtract 11 from each side
15x-11x = -22
4x = -22
x = -22/4
x = -11/2
X^2 + X - 12 = 0
(X + 4)(X - 3) = 0
X = -4 and X = 3.
1a) 8 / (1/2) = 16 * 3 = 48
1b) 3sqrt(49) = 3 * 7 = 21
1c) (5+2)(-8) / (-2)^3 -3
(7*-8) / (-8 -3)
-56/-11
56/11
