Solving for x right?
2) 6x + 4 = 3x - 1
6x - 3x = -1 - 4
3x = -5
x = - 5/3
3) x - 9 = 3/5x
5(x-9) = 3x
5x - 45 = 3x
2x = 45
x = 45/2
Question-
6/15 divided by 1/7
Answer-
Find the reciprocal of the divisor
Reciprocal of 1/7: 7/1Now, multiply it with the dividend
So, 6/15 ÷ 1/7 = 6/15 × 7/1= (6 × 7)/(15 × 1) = 42/15After reducing the fraction, the answer is 14/5In mixed form: 2 4/5
A, B, and D? I chose those 3 because they all feature the expression a. (I literally just signed up, sorry, I'm still kind of new.)
To find the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away, you need to know how much she gave the son. Because the ratio of the money given is 5:6, the amount of money he received has to be 5/6 of the money the daughter received.
So, the son received 5/6 of 2400.
To find this, multiply 5/6 x 2400 to get 2000.
The daughter received 2400 and the son received 2000, so the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away is 4400 dollars.
