Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = 6x - 9
Subtract 6x from each side
x^2 -6x = -9
Add 9 to each side
x^2 -6x+9 = 0
Factor
what 2 numbers multiply to 9 and add to -6
-3*-3 = 9
-3+-3 =-6
(x-3)(x-3) = 0
Using the zero product property
x-3 =0 x-3=0
x=3 with multiplicity 2
So the ratios are 5:5 and 3:5 so the fractions are 5/10 (1/2) for 7th grade and 5/8 for 8th grade
S = (5g -4y)/9
hope this helps
