Answer:
x = - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
+ 
= - 
( multiply through by 9 to clear the fractions )
x + 3 = - 12 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 15
===> Mr. Jackson bought / . of beef:
===> He cooked / of it for lunch:
Solution ===> Mr Jackson, had 2 / 5 Lbs. left
===>
If he cooked / of it for lunch:
===> Mr Jackson, had
/ of the original amount left.
===> Since ( / )( / )
===> / * /
===> /
Mr Jackson, had
/
.
left.
write the answer as one expression; Then Solve:
(
/ )( −
/ )
8 / 5 ( 1 - 3 / 4 )
= 8 / 5 ( 1 / 4 )
= 2 / 5 ( Decimal: 2 / 5 ====> 0.4 )
Answer, 2 / 5 Lbs.; of beef, Mr Jackson, Had left.

This is Very good correct
X = 5/3 and m∠SPY = 8 1/3°.
Since PQ bisects the angle, the two angles formed by the bisector are equal:
11/2x - 5 = 4x - 5/2
We will first multiply everything by 2 to eliminate the fractions:
(11/2x)*2 - 5*2 = 4x*2 - (5/2)*2
11x - 10 = 8x - 5
Subtract 8x from each side:
11x - 10 - 8x = 8x - 5 - 8x
3x - 10 = -5
Add 10 to both sides:
3x - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10
3x = 5
Divide both sides by 3:
3x/3 = 5/3
x = 5/3
Now we will plug this in for x in both smaller angles and add them together to find the measure of ∠SPY:
11/2(5/3) - 5 + 4(5/3) - 5/2
55/6 - 5 + 20/3 - 5/2
We will rewrite everything using a denominator of 6:
55/6 - 30/6 + 40/6 - 15/6 = (55-30+40-15)/6 = 50/6 = 8 2/6 = 8 1/3°
