Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-3=5
Add 3 to both sides
2x=8
divide both sides by 2
x=4
To find the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away, you need to know how much she gave the son. Because the ratio of the money given is 5:6, the amount of money he received has to be 5/6 of the money the daughter received.
So, the son received 5/6 of 2400.
To find this, multiply 5/6 x 2400 to get 2000.
The daughter received 2400 and the son received 2000, so the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away is 4400 dollars.
P(n)=news time/total time
We are told that the news is 14 minutes long during an hour so
p(n)=14/60
p(n)=7/30
Answer:
x=-1,-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the given equation with (x+1) on both sides. We'll get,
x+2/x=-3
or,x^2+2=-3x
or,x^2+3x+2=0
or,x^2+2x+x+2=0
or,x(x+2)+1(x+2)=0
or,(x+2)(x+1)=0
or,x=-2,-1
