Answer: x = 2
/3 , − 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
AEB = CED = 180 - 45 - 14 = 121 deg
EDC = 180 - 121 - 27 = 32 deg
So angle D is 32 degrees

$115 per week earns you that plus 9.5% of $125,000, which is $</span>11,875, plus $5,980 which is $<span>17,855 total
There is a $</span><span>5,545 difference, making the $450 a week a better deal</span>
