The LCD is 12. Thus, your
(x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2 becomes 12((x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2), or
3(x-2) - 4(x+3) = -36
Then 3x - 6 - 4x - 12 = -36. Combining like terms,
-x = -36 + 18, or -x = -18, or x = 18.
Check this result by subbing 18 for x in the given equation.
Please note: You must use parentheses here as indicated to eliminate any ambiguity about order of operations and what divides into what.
Answer:
x = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = - 9 when x = 3, thus
k =
=
= - 3
y = - 3x ← equation of variation
When y = 18, then
18 = - 3x ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:
let the first page be X
second one be x+1
x+x+1=321
2x=320
x= 320÷2=160
