Problem: 2/3= 18/(x+5)
First, I would multiply the (x+5) over
Making it 2/3(x+5)=18
Second, I would Divide by 2/3 (which is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal 3/2)
which shows up like this now (x+5)=18*3/2
third I would subtract the 5 over
which will give you your answer
1.68 mm per year for 1.5 years could be rewritten as
(2.00-0.32) mm per year for 1.5 yrs.
Multiply: (1.5 yrs)(2.00-0.32)(mm/yr) = 3 mm + 0.48 mm = 3.48 mm
This approach makes use of the distributive property of multiplication.
Answer:
The solutions are 
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
Rewrite as perfect squares
square root both sides
2x+3-5.32=68.82
2x= 71.14
x=35.57
