Charlie = Ryan * 5
Charlie + Ryan = 1608

C+R=1608
5R + R = 1608
6R = 1608
6R/6 = 1608/6
R = 268

C+ 268 = 1608
C +268-268 =1608-268
C = 1340

Check
C = 5R
1340 = 5(268)
1340 = 1340

What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) - 3=4.5(x-2)

anyanavicka [17]

Hi there!

The Eqn. is :-

1.5 (x + 4) - 3 = 4.5 (x - 2)

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

Combining the like terms :-

1.5x - 4.5x = - 9 - 6 + 3

- 3x = - 15 + 3

- 3x = - 12

x = $\dfrac {- 12}{- 3}$

x = 4

Hence, the required answer is → x = 4

~ Hope it helps!

Select the quadratic equation that has roots x=8 and x=-5

stellarik [79]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, x=8 and x=-5 are the roots.

Therefore, (x - 8) & (x - 5) will be factors.

Hence, required quadratic equation can be given as:

$(x - 8)(x - 5) =0 \\ \\ \therefore {x}^{2} + ( - 8 - 5) x+ ( - 8) \times ( - 5) = 0 \\ \\ \therefore {x}^{2} + ( - 13) x+ 40= 0 \\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore {x}^{2} - 13x+ 40= 0 }} \\ is \: the \: required \: quadratic \: equation.$
