Simplify the first numerator first
-2(x+1)
-2x-2
Then you can set up an equation using cross multiplication
5(-2x-2)= 3x
Simplify and solve
-10x-10=3x
-10=13x
-10/13=x
Final answer: x=-10/13
Since tenths are 10 hundredths in each, 4 tenths equal to 40 hundredths.
The bisector of the angle at A (call it AQ) divides the segment BC into segments BQ:QC having the ratio AB:AC. Use this fact to find x.
.. 9:15 = (2x -1):3x
.. 15(2x -1) = 9*3x . . . . . the product of the means equals the product of extremes
.. 30x -15 = 27x
.. 3x = 15
.. x = 5
___
According to the value of x, the bisector AQ divides the triangle into two isosceles triangles: ABQ, ACQ.
Answer A would the one that's false
In the science class,
there are 3 girls and 1 boy (grade 7)
and 5 girls and 5 boys (grade 8)
There is a total of 14 pupils being 8 girls and 6 boys
The probability of choosing a boy will be

Which can be simplified into

by
dividing 2 from the numerator as well as the denominator.
