What is the answer to 3/x=-3/3x+5

Mathematics
1 answer:
Aleonysh [2.5K]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

-\frac{5}{4} =x

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to bring x up into the numerator. I will find common denominators by multiplying both sides by each denominator.

\frac{x(3x+5)}{1} *\frac{3}{x} =\frac{-3}{3x+5}*\frac{x(3x+5)}{1}

This will eliminate both denominators and leave me with

(3x+5)3=-3(x)\\9x+15=-3x after I simplify the parenthesis.

Now I will solve the equation for x by subtracting 9x from both sides.

9x-9x+15=-3x-9x\\15=-12x

Then divide by the coefficient of x.

\frac{15}{-12}=\frac{-12x}{-12}

-\frac{5}{4} =x

Answer:

convert the task into ratios

(1) if $24 = 4 walks

how many $ for a walk

= (24/4) $/walk

= $6 per walk

•the first one is correct

•the second is wrong, cause it interprete $12/3 walks, which is rationalized to $3 per walk

•the third one is correct, cause it can also be rationalized ($30/5walks) to $6 per walk.

also, rationalizing this would equate to 3 miles per hour (6miles/2hrs)

• one is wrong cause it's 4 miles per hour

•two is correct, it's saying 3 miles per hour (12/4)

• third, likewise is correct 3 miles per hour (9/3) miles/hrs

Why is it better to use the metric system, rather than the English system, in scientific measurement?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Because the metric system is acknowledged by all countries except for the US, therefore, to put it only in a format understood by Americans would make it harder for the larger population of the scientific community to understand. If it's in the metric system, it can easily be understood for peer review and or involvement
