The first step to solving this is to multiply both sides of the equation by 15.
9x - 5x = 15x - 15
Collect all of the like terms on the left side of the equals sign.
4x = 15x - 15
Move the variable to the left side of the equation and change its sign.
4x - 15x = -15
Now collect the like terms on the left side of the equation for the second time.
-11x = -15
Lastly,, divide both sides of the equation by -11 to get your final answer.

This means that the correct answer to your question is

,, or 1

Answer:
2 4/15 pints
Step-by-step explanation:
Caden has 3 2/3 pints of water in a pitcher.
He has 1 2/5 pints of water left in the pitcher.
The amount of water he poured is calculated as
3 2/3 - 1 2/5
3 - 1 + (2/3 - 2/5)
Lowest Common Denominator is 15
2 + (5 × 2 - 3×2/15)
2 + (10 - 6/15)
2 + (4/15)
= 2 4/15 pints
He poured 2 1/15 pints of water.
The two slanted lines BC and AD are the same, then AD should be the same length, 27.
Answer:
area of the original square = 36 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
given data
one side is increased = 9 inches
other side is decreased = 2 inches
area of the resulting rectangle = 60 in²
solution
we consider here x as the length of any one side
and
longer side of the resulting rectangle = x + 9
and
the shorter side x - 2
so that area of this rectangle is (s+9) × (s-2) = 60 in²
standard form of equation is x² + 7x - 18 = 60 .....................1
it will be
x² + 7x - 78 = 0
(s+13) (s-6) = 0
so that here x = -13
and x = 6
here we Discard x = -13 because the side length cannot be negative.
so x = 6
and area of the original square = 36 in²
