Answer:
The value of x is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Matthew earned 7500 of 15000, which is exactly half the total amount, meaning that the fraction corresponding to his earnings is 1/2.
Rate of 5:2:x, with number 5 corresponding to Matthew, mean that his fraction of the earnings, in function of x is given by:
Both fractions are equal, so:
Applying cross multiplication:
The value of x is 3.
Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
We proceed as follows;
In this question, we want to fill in the blank so that we can have the resulting expression expressed as the product of two different linear expressions.
Now, what to do here is that, when we factor the first two expressions, we need the same kind of expression to be present in the second bracket.
Thus, we have;
2a(b-3) + 5b + _
Now, putting -15 will give us the same expression in the first bracket and this gives us the following;
2a(b-3) + 5b-15
2a(b-3) + 5(b-3)
So we can have ; (2a+5)(b-3)
Hence the constant used is -15
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
k(x)=5 says I'm 5 no matter the value of x...
So therefore
k(-4)=5
k(56)=5
k(66378)=5
k(whatever)=5
k(x) is constantly 5 for whatever input x.
29035 is a positive and -36198 is a negative
