Answer:
3/x + 2/(x+1) = 3/5x
[3 · 5(x + 1) + 2 · 5x] / 5x(x + 1) = 3(x + 1) / 5x(x + 1)
3 · 5(x + 1) + 2 · 5x = 3(x + 1)
15x + 15 + 10x = 3x + 3
15x + 10x - 3x = -15 + 3
22x = -12
x = -12/22 = -6/11
There are 63 cornstalks in total
Answer: 22.5 . The weight of the elephant is "22.5 times greater" than the weight of the lion.
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________
(weight of lion) * (x) = (eight of the elephant) ; Solve for "x" .
_____________________________________________________
→ Divide each side of the equation by "(weight of lion)" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
→ (weight of lion)*(x) / (weight of lion) = (weight of the elephant) /
(weight of lion) ;
________________________________________________________
→ x = (weight of the elephant) / (weight of lion) ;
__________________________________________________________
→ Plug in our "given values" ; and solve for "x" ;
__________________________________________________________
→ x = (<span>9*10</span>³) / (4*10²) = (9*10⁽³⁻²⁾) / 4 = (9*10¹) / 4 ;
__________________________________________________________
→ x = 90 /4 = 25/2 = 22.5 ; which is our answer.
