It is 6 units because if you divide 9 by 3 you get 3 and you multiple that by 2 to make it 6:9 which is equal to 2:3

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

$=\frac{2x-3}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$=6x^2\\\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a\\=\frac{3x\left(4x-6\right)}{2x\cdot \:3x}\\2x\cdot \:3x=6x^2\\=\frac{3x\left(4x-6\right)}{6x^2}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{3x\left(4x-6\right)}{6x^2}:\quad \frac{4x-6}{2x}\\=\frac{4x-6}{2x}\\\mathrm{Factor}\:4x-6:\quad 2\left(2x-3\right)\\=\frac{2\left(2x-3\right)}{2x}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{2}{2}=1\\=\frac{2x-3}{x}$

You withdrew $36.25 from your checking account. Now your balance is -$14.75. Write and solve an equation to find the amount of m

iVinArrow [24]

Total was x
subtract 36.25 amount of money and you have -14.75 left

You can write this
x - 36.25 = -14.75
add 36.25 to both sides
x = -14.75 + 36.25
Solve by combining like terms
x = 21.5

You had $21.5 on your account before you withdrew $36.25 and had a balance of -$14.75 left.

Hope this helps!
