Solve the proportion

mario62 [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf x = 5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Solve \: for \: x \: over \: the \: real \: numbers: \\ \sf \implies \frac{2}{x - 3} = \frac{5}{x} \\ \\ \sf Take \: the \: reciprocal \: of \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x - 3}{2} = \frac{x}{5} \\ \\ \sf Expand \: out \: terms \: of \: the \: left \: hand \: side: \\ \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{x}{5} \\ \\ \sf Subtract \: \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - ( \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} ) = \frac{x}{5} - ( \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} ) \\ \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{x}{5} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{x}{5} - \frac{x}{5} + \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{x}{5} - \frac{x}{5} = 0 : \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2} = 0: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} = \frac{5x - 2x}{10} = \frac{3x}{10} : \\ \sf \implies \frac{3x}{10} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf Multiply \: both \: sides \: by \: \frac{10}{3} : \\ \sf \implies \frac{3x}{10} \times \frac{10}{3} = \frac{3}{2 } \times \frac{10}{3} \\ \\ \sf \frac{3x}{10} \times \frac{10}{3} = \cancel{\frac{3}{10} } \times( x) \times \cancel{ \frac{10}{3} } = x : \\ \sf \implies x = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{10}{3} \\ \\ \sf \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{10}{3} = \cancel{ \frac{3}{2} } \times \cancel{ \frac{3}{2} } \times 5 : \\ \sf \implies x = 5$

Haleigh split 4/9 of a gallon of juice into 8 cups. How much juice was in each cup?

Brut [27]

━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━

▹ Answer

<em>1/18 of a gallon of juice in each cup.</em>

▹ Step-by-Step Explanation

Since we have 4/9 of a gallon of juice for 8 cups, we will divide to find the amount of juice in each cup.

$\frac{4}{9} / 8$

Since this operation is division, we have to change 8 to it's reciprocal which is 1/8:

$\frac{4}{9}/ \frac{1}{8} = \frac{4}{72} = \frac{1}{18}$

Our final answer will be 1/18 of a gallon of juice in each cup.

Hope this helps!

The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 27 less than the least of the integers..

zysi [14]

Answer: -13, -15

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the smallest integer, then:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = x - 27

3x + 3 = x - 27

2x = -30

x = -15

Integers: -15, -14, -13
