Hello,
Let's r the ration
We suppose x ≠0
x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)
x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6
x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2
Ration 3/2
First term: 4
2/3 ÷ 4 = 2/3 * 1/4 = 2/12 = 1/6
Answer:
The temperature on Tuesday was 13.3 degrees Celcius, 3 degrees less than that of Monday.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the temperature on Monday was 16.3 degrees Celsius, and the following Tuesday the temperature dropped about 3 degrees, to determine the temperature of that day the following calculation must be made:
16.3 - 3 = X
13.3 = X
Thus, the temperature on Tuesday was 13.3 degrees Celcius, 3 degrees less than that of Monday.
