5(x + 2/3) = 3x - 2/3.....distribute the 5 through the parenthesis
5x + 10/3 = 3x - 2/3 ....subtract 3x from both sides
5x - 3x + 10/3 = 3x - 3x - 2/3...combine like terms
2x + 10/3 = - 2/3 ....subtract 10/3 from both sides
2x + 10/3 - 10/3 = -2/3 - 10/3...simplify
2x = - 12/3....reduce
2x = - 4....divide both sides by 2
x = -4/2....reduces to -2

or this way...
5(x + 2/3) = 3x - 2/3.....distribute
5x + 10/3 = 3x - 2/3....multiply by lowest common denominator of 3
15x + 10 = 9x - 2 ....subtract 9x from both sides
15x - 9x + 10 = -2 ...subtract 10 from both sides
6x + 10 - 10 = -2 - 10...simplify
6x = -12.....divide both sides by 6
x = -12/6 reduces to -2

STatiana [176]

Answer:

48:1

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we know the actual size and the size in the drawing therefore we can calculate its scale.

What we must do is divide the actual size by the size in the drawing. We know the actual size is 480 inches and in the drawing the size is 10 inches, so:

480/10 = 48

Which means that the relationship between the real and the drawing is 48:1

Let x represent the worth of the professional basketball player's autograph a year ago. Since his autograph's worth increased by 40% now, $364 is 1.40x. 
 
                                      364 = 1.40x

Solving for x gives x = 260.

Thus, the autograph of the basketball player was worth only $260 last year.
