You can either convert -3 into a fraction, or convert -2/5 into a decimal so you can solve this.
If you decide to convert -3, into a fraction, it would be -3/1, and you'd have to multiply that by the reciprocal of -2/5.
So, you'd have -3/1(-5/2)=15/2, which can be simplified to 7 1/2.
If you decide to convert -2/5 into a decimal, you would get -0.4. You would then divide -3 by -0.4, which is equal to 7.5.
Both 7.5 and 7 1/2 are correct answers, and if you were to convert 7.5 into a fraction and 7 1/2 into a decimal, you would notice that they are the same number, but in different forms.

(2)/(3) =( 4)/( 3+x)

Cross multiply

2*(3+x)= 4*3

Solve bracket

6+2x=12

Subtract 6 from both sides

2x=6

Divide both sides by 2

x=3

Hope it helps :-)

Look at this set of ordered pairs:
forsale [732]

Answer: Yes

If I remember correctly, I believe these ordered pairs indicate a function, as there is exactly 1 output for every input (i.e., (output, input)). If there were 2 inputs of the same number, that'd make this relation not a function.
