Essentially, we are trying to find the missing constant term of
(remember that we are subtracting
due to the negative sign in front of the second term). Let's expand this to see what we can work with:


Now, we know the second term is
, so let's set the second term in the polynomial we just found equal to
:


- Divide both sides of the equation by


- Divide both sides of the equation by 2
We have found
. We know the missing constant term is
, according to the polynomial we found earlier. Thus, the missing term is:

The missing constant term is 36.
Answer:
( c ) x = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:

divide both side of the equation by 3...




hence the value of x is 2.5...
I would double check if I were you! Hope this helps!
2/3 (0.666) quantities fills one dispenser.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; It is given that 2 1/3 amount of some liquid fills up 3 1/2 dispensers. First, we must convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions. To do that we multiply the number with the denominator and add with it the numerator whereas the denominator remains the same. To convert the fraction
2 1/3 we multiply the 2 with the 3 and add it with 1 while denominator remains 3, so 2 1/3 becomes 7/3. Similarly the fraction 3 1/2 converts into 7/2.
Step 2; So we have 7/3 quantities of liquid fills 7/2 dispensers. We multiply both sides by 2/7 so that the right side of the equation becomes 1 and the left side of the equation indicates the amount of liquid in 1 dispenser.
7/3 * 2/7 = 7/2 * 2/7 , 14/21 = 1 dispenser. So 14/21 = 2/3. So 2/3 or 0.666 quantity of liquid fills one dispenser.
