Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Either try all the numbers and see which ones work or do the following.
Times both sides by 2x-5.
3=x(2x-5)=2x^2-5x
Rearrange and solve the quadratic. I will factorise.
2x^2-5x-3=0
(2x+1)(x-3)=0
so x = -1/2 or 3
Ok so you know the first garden needs 1 and 2/5 bags of soil. Now first we need to find one fifth of that. So let's make this mied number into an improper fraction:
1 2/5 = 7/5
Ok now let's divide 7/5 by 5:
7/5 divided by 5/1 = 7/25
So Jared will need 7/25 bags of soil for his second garden, but we're STILL not done. now we have to add for the TOTAL.
1 2/5 + 7/25 > 7/5 + 7/25 > 7 x 5 = 35 > 35/25 + 7/25 = 42/25
_________
5x 5 = 25
Now let's simplify it to 1 and 17/25
