Answer: 9:5
Step-by-step explanation:
81:45 I first just divided them both by three and got 27:15 then they were both divisible by 3 so then I got 9:5
9514 1404 393
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...
2/3(3x +6) = 10
2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property
x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3
The number is 3.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...
2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions
6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
Put ur equation in y = mx + b form because the slope will be in the m position.
5x + 3y + 12 = 0
3y = -5x - 12
y = -5/3x - 4
y = mx + b
y = -5/3x + (-4)......as u can see, the number in the m position (the slope) is -5/3 <===
