Answer:

x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ratio= 5:2:x

Combined ratio= 5+2+x

                        = 7+x

Total amount of money= $15000

Let us apply the part to all method

Hence for Matthew whose share = $7500

5/7+x=  7500/15000

Cross multiply we have

7500*(7+x)= 15000*5

52500+7500x= 75000

Collect like terms we have

7500x= 75000-52500

7500x=22500

x= 22500/7500

x=3

Hence the value of x= 3

Alrightie! So we are trying to isolate independent variables! WOO HOO! 

So for a.) y = mx + b which is the point-slope formula... do this :)

y = mx + b
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx 

\frac{y-b}{x} =  \frac{mx}{x}
m =  \frac{y-b}{x}

b.) follow the same way I did above, but instead of dividing x, divide by m.

c.)  I = prt which is the equation for interest. 
divide each side by pr.

d.) This one is like a and b. So lemme show ya.

A - p = prt
\frac{A-p}{pr} =  \frac{t}{pr}
t = \frac{A-p}{pr}
