-5=s/18
Pretend that s/18 is 1/18s
-5=1/18s
Multiply by 18/1 for both sides
-5(18/1)=1/18(18/1)s
Cross out 1 and 1, divide by 1 and then is one.
Cross out 18 and 18, divide by 18 and then is one.
s=-90
Answer: s=-90
Answer : A it is decreased by $70,000
Federal reserve sells $70,000 in treasury bonds to a bank.
Removing cash decreases the money supply . Money supply decreases when exchanging for bonds. That is the immediate effect on money supply.
Federal reserve sells $70,000 . so money supply is decreased by $70,000
Lets consider SAM's age is 'x' and Hank's age is 'y'
So as per given data Sam's age is 5/3 times of Hank's age
so x = 5/3 * y
3x = 5y --> equation 1
and also sum of their ages is 24
so, x + y = 24
we need to find Hank's age (y)
so x = 24 - y
Now replace x value in equation 1
3(24-y) = 5y
72-3y = 5y
72 = 3y+5y
8y= 72
y= 72/8
y = 9 years.
So the Hank's age is 9 years
