Find the factors that multiply to give 2n^2 and -9 but add to give 3n.
2n and n give 2n^2
-3 and 3 give -9
2n*3=6n ... (1)
n*(-3)=-3n ... (2)
(1)+(2)=3n
Group the factors that do not have an effect/interaction to each other from the above.
That is, 2n and -3, and n and 3
2n^2+3n-9=(2n-3)(n+3)
To answer this question you need to interpret the ratio of the money correctly. We only know Dwayne money, so it's better to solve the ratio which was related to Dwayne. In this case, it was Kendra or Tom.
Dwayne money = $5
Kendra money= 1/10 Dwayne money= 1/10 x $5= $0.5
Juan money= 1/10 Kendra money = 1/10 x $0.5= $0.05
Tom money = 10 x Dwayne money = 10 x $5 = $50
Ruth money = 10 x Tom money = 10 x $50= $500
Answer:
1) 3x = 2x + 50
3x - 2x = 50
X= 50
2)6x = 2x + 44
6x - 2x = 44
4x = 44
divide both sides by 4
X = 11
3)8x = 2x + 36
8x - 2x = 36
4x = 36
divide both sides by 4
X = 9
4) 4x = X + 18
4x - X = 18
3x = 18
divide both sides by 3
X= 6
5) 7x + 10 = 3x + 120
collect like terms
7x - 3x = 120 - 10
4x = 110
divide both sides by 4
X = 27.5
6) 20 + 2x = X + 56
collect like terms
2x - X = 56 - 20
X = 36
7) already done
8)12x + 12 = 3x + 84
collect like terms
12x - 3x = 84 - 12
9x = 72
divide both sides by 9
X = 8
9) 3 + 6x = 2x + 27
collect like terms
6x - 2x = 27 - 3
4x = 24
divide both sides by the coefficient of X (4)
X = 6
10) 8x + 2 = 72 + X
collect like terms
8x - X = 72 - 2
7x = 70
divide both sides by the coefficient of X (7)
X = 10
11) 2x + 20 = X + 60
collect like terms
2x - X = 60 - 20
X = 40
12). 4x + 1 = 25 + 2x
collect like terms
4x - 2x = 25 - 1
2x = 24
divide both sides by the coefficient of X (2)
X = 12
I hope this helps
