2/3 = x/(3x + y)

Cross multiply:

3x = 2(3x + y)

Distribute 2:

3x = 6x + 2y

Subtract 6x to both sides:

-3x = 2y

Divide 'y' to both sides:

-3x/y = 2

Divide -3 to both sides:

x/y = -2/3

2/3 = x/3x + y
2(3x + y) = 3x
2(3x) + 2(y) = 3x
 6x + 2y = 3x
 - 6x - 6x
 2y = -3x
 2 2
 y = -1.5x

X^{2} -25=0 Please help meeee

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

$x=5,x=-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-25=0$

Add 25 to both sides:

$x^2-25+25=0+25$

$x^2=25$

Square root both sides:

$x=\sqrt{25},\:x=-\sqrt{25}$ (Since a negative number multiplied by itself gives positive, there are two answers.)

$x=5,x=-5$
