Lets say that Williams current age is x, since it is currently unknown
From here we know that in 15 years (x+15) he will be 3 times his age 5 years prior (3x-5). Thus we can set these equations up as equal to one another
1) x + 15 = 3(x - 5)
2) x + 15 = 3x-15
3) 30= 2x
4) 15 = x
5) Now this age is his current age of 15 years, but they also want his age 15 years from now
The equation is x + 15 = 3(x - 5)

This should be correct now, sorry for the misconception. Good luck

What is 2 and 5/6 divided by 6 and 4/5

9966 [12]

Firstly I would revert these back to improper fractions:

So 17/6 ÷ 24/5

Then I would use keep, change, flip

So 17/6 * 5/24

Finally simplify

85/144

Final Answer: 85/144

With full explanation from the internet like before 3x2-6x+5=0

Elodia [21]

Answer:

$\sf x=1+i\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}} \ \quad and \quad \:x=1-i\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}$

Explanation:

Given Expression:

3x² - 6x + 5 = 0

Use the Quadratic Formula:

$\sf x = \dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \ \ when \ \ ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

insert coefficients

$\Longrightarrow \sf x = \dfrac{-\left(-6\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-6\right)^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:5}}{2\cdot \:3}$

$\Longrightarrow \sf x = \dfrac{\left6\right\pm \sqrt{-24} }{6}$

$\Longrightarrow \sf x = \dfrac{\left6\right\pm 2\sqrt{6}i}{6}$

$\Longrightarrow \sf x =1 \pm i\dfrac{\sqrt{6} }{3}$

$\Longrightarrow \sf x=1+i\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}, \quad 1-i\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}$

I cant believe how bad my brother, Reuben, is at growing things. He bought a whole bunch of plants at the nursery the other day.

jeka94

Answer:

68 plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of plants that Reuben bought from the nursery.

We have been given that Reuben bought a whole bunch of plants at the nursery the other day. Right away, five died. So number of plant left would be $x-5$ .

We are also told that then our dog dug up 2/9 of them. So number of plants left after dug-up would be $\frac{2}{9}(x-5)$ .

Further a rabbit came and ate ½ of what was left. So number of plants left would be $\frac{\frac{2}{9}(x-5)}{2}=\frac{2}{9\times 2}(x-5)=\frac{1}{9}(x-5)$ .
