Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cake shared=1/2
Pete share=x
Bill= twice as much as Pete
=2x
Pete's share+ Bill's share=total share
x+2x=1/2
3x=1/2
x=1/2÷3
x=1/2×1/3
=1/6
Pete's share=x=1/6
Bill's share=2x
=2(1/6)
=2/6
=1/3
Do 1,068÷23 and u will get ur answer.
First you would subtract x from both sides to move all the x's to one side
Then you would add 4 to both side to move all the non x's to one side
Lastly divide by negative 15 to have x by itself
9/-15 =-.6
So x as has root at x=-0.6
