Peter, Bridget and Caroline share some sweets in the ratio 4:3:1. Peter gets 20 sweets. How

1 answer:

7 0

The answer would be 40 because 4:3:1 then if peter has 20 and 4x5=20. 3x5= 15. And 1x5=5 so the final answer would be 20:15:5. ✌

$D:x-2\ \textgreater \ 0 \wedge 2x-3\ \textgreater \ 0 \wedge x\ \textgreater \ 0\\
D:x\ \textgreater \ 2 \wedge x\ \textgreater \ \dfrac{3}{2}\wedge x\ \textgreater \ 0\\
D:x\ \textgreater \ 2\\\\
\ln (x-2) +\ln (2x-3)=2\ln x \\
\ln (x-2)(2x-3)=\ln x^2\\
(x-2)(2x-3)=x^2\\
2x^2-3x-4x+6=x^2\\
x^2-7x+6=0\\
x^2-x-6x+6=0\\
x(x-1)-6(x-1)=0\\
(x-6)(x-1)=0\\
x=6 \vee x=1\\

\boxed{x=6}$
