A number is 2/3 of another number. Both added together equals 50.
One of these numbers consists of three parts, and the other consists of two of those three parts. So, there are 5 equal parts in total.
Thus we need to divide 50 by 5. 50 divided by 5 equals <u>10</u>.
The first number, which has three parts, is 30. The second number, which as two parts, is 20.
I hope this makes sense to you. :D Good luck in all your studies!
Answer:
2x4y=2... hope this helps.
1. 22 - 3x + 7x = 4(x + 5)
22 - 3x + 7x = 4x + 20
<u> +3x +3x +3x </u>
22 + 10x = 7x + 20
<u> -7x -7x </u>
22 + 3x = 20
<u>-22 -22</u>
<u>3x</u> = -<u>2</u>
3 3
x = -2/3
2. 6(2x - 3) = 3(3 - 5)
12x - 18 = 3(-2)
12x - 18 = -6
<u> +18 +18</u>
<u>12x</u> = <u>12</u>
12 12
x = 1
3. 6x - 14 = 2(3x - 7)
6x - 14 = -3x
6x - 14 = 2(-7)
6x - 14 = -14
<u> +14 +14</u>
<u>6x</u> = <u>0</u>
6 6
x = 0
4. 6x + 3(x - 4) = 8(x - 3)
6x + 3x - 12 = 8x - 24
9x - 12 = 8x - 24
<u>-8x -8x </u>
x - 12 = -24
<u> +12 +12</u>
x = -12
The midpoint between the two points are (0,1/2)
