Given parameters:
Fraction given to charity = 
Fraction given to wife = 
Unknown:
Fraction given to son and daughter =?
Solution:
Let the total property = x
Fraction given to charity = 
Fraction given to wife = 
The remaining was given to son and daughter = F
So;
Total property = fraction given to charity + fraction given to wife + fraction given to son and daughter
x = 
F = x - (
)
F = 0
The son and daughter will not inherit anything
Answer:
23. x = 4; DE = 44
24. x = 25; DS = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
23. Point S is the midpoint of DE, so ...
DS = SE
3x +10 = 6x -2
12 = 3x . . . . . . . . . add 2-3x
4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Then DS has length ...
DS = 3x +10 = 12 +10 = 22
and DE is twice that length, so ...
DE = 44
__
24. DS is half the length of DE, so is ...
DS = DE/2 = 56/2
DS = 28
Then x can be found from ...
DS = x +3
28 -3 = x = 25 . . . . . substitute value for DS

<em>Comment on problem 24</em>
Sometimes it is easier to work parts of a problem out of sequence. Here, finding DS first makes finding x easier.
15x-20<130
15x<130+20
15x<150
X=150/15
x<10
Answer:
10 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
The football team gained 9 yards so that would be a positive number. Then they lost 22 yards so that would be a negative number. If you go to the left of the number line it would be a negative number. If you go to the right of the number line it would be a positive number. If you go to the left the numbers are getting smaller. If you go to the right the numbers are getting bigger. Hope this helps
