Step-by-step explanation:

12/x + 6/(x-1) = 5

12(x-1) + 6(x) = 5(x)(x-1)

18x - 12 = 5x² - 5x

5x² - 23x + 12 = 0. (Shown)

In this question:

We multiply the decimal 4.56 by 1000.

1000 is the 3rd power of 10, because 10^3 = 1000. So the decimal point should be moved 3 units to the right, and the result of the multiplication is 4560.

12.50/5= 2.50

now since we have the unit rate, we take that and multiply the price of one by 3 to find the price of 3

2.50x3=7.50
