9/2{8-x}+36=102-5/2{3x+24}
you first use 9/2 to open brackets
9/2*8=36,
9/2*x=9/2x
36-9/2x=102-5/2{3x+24}
5/2*3x=15/2x+60
36-9/2x=-15/2x-60
36+60=15/2x+9/2x
96=12x you then divide and the answer obtained will be 8.
x=8
The answer I think is 14 +x3
Answer:
0.1785
Step-by-step explanation:
IF MARTHA EARNS 3.25/HOUR FRO BABYSITTING (SHE IS UNDERPAID!)
IN 1.5 HOURS=3.25*1.5=4.88 DOLLARS
IN 2.5 HOURS=3.25*2.5=8.13 DOLLARS
IN 3.5 HOURS=3.25*3.5=11.38 DOLLARS
Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
7x + 8x = 45
15x = 45
x = 45/15
= 3
Then the two numbers are
7x :8x
7 * 3:8 * 3
21: 24
Then the two numbers are 21 and 24.
I hope the procedure in which
the problem is done is clear to you. This is a simple but effective way of
solving such problems. In future this method will make you confident about
solving these kind of problems.
