Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the problem is, there is no problem ;)
The actual amount that needs to be divided = 85
The ratio in which the amount needs to be divided = 2:3:5
Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
2x + 3x + 5x = 85
10x = 85
x = 85/10
= 8.5
Then
The ratio in which the number 85 will be divided = 2 * 8.5:3 * 8.5:5 * 8.5
= 17:25.5:42.5
So from the above deduction we can see that the number 85 can be divided in the ratio 17:25.5:42.5
Answer:
x=-11
Step-by-step explanation:
3+3x=6=-24
