What is X? x divided by 4/9 = 9/10
Damm [24]

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{\frac{4}{9} } =\frac{9}{10}

(\frac{9}{10})(\frac{4}{9} )=\frac{36}{90}

36 divided by 90 is 2/5.

When solving for X you do the opposite to a number if you are moving it to the other side of the problem. so, since x is being divided by 4/9, 4/9 would be multiplied to the opposite or to the 9/10.

A textbook store sold a combined total of 289 sociology and math textbooks in a week. The number of math textbooks sold was 65 l
erica [24]

Answer:

Contradictrion

Step-by-step explanation:

First write an equation. If the total is 289, then that goes one the right side of the =. Sociology textbooks will be x. If there were 65 less than x, it will be 65-x. Lets set it up:

x + 65 -x =289

Then combine like terms.

65 = 289

There are no values of x that make the equation true. The input is a contradiction.
