Answer:

x as a fraction: 11\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable x cannot be equal to −2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9(x+2), the least common multiple of 9,x+2.

2 ( x+ 2) = 9 x 3

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x + 2.

2x + 4 = 9 x 3

Multiply 9 and 3 to get 27.

2x + 4 = 27

Subtract 4 from both sides.

2x = 27 - 4

Subtract 4 from 27 to get 23.

2x = 23

Divide both sides by 2.

x = \frac{23}{2}

Simplify

11\frac{1}{2}

Hope it helps and have a great day! =D

Answer:

x=\frac{23}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!
We are given the following proportion:

\frac{2}{9} =\frac{3}{x+2}, and we want to solve it for x

To solve proportions, we can cross-multiply; in other words, we can multiply the terms in the numerator of one proportion with the terms in the denominator of the second proportion.

This is a property that where if you have the proportion \frac{a}{b} =\frac{c}{d}, it can also be represented as ad=bc
So let's cross multiply; multiply 2 by x+2, and multiply 9 by 3. Then, set them equal to each other.

2(x+2)=9*3

Multiply

2x+4=27
Subtract 4 from both sides

2x=23

Divide both sides by 2

x=\frac{23}{2}
The answer can be left as that.
Hope this helps!

Tony has a bucket filled with green, blue, yellow, and red markers. He removes 3 markers from the bucket, with replacement. Sele
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Options A), B), C), D)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 colors of markers.

Take out three "with replacement" markers.

As there is replacement, then the number of markers in the cube does not change in each trial.

A) There is a chance that when you get the three markers always get the same color.

B) It is likely to get a marker of each color

C) If 3 markers are taken it is likely to get the same amount of green and blue markers. For example, if there are 3 markers obtainable: blue, green, yellow. Then the number of blues and yellows is the same.

D) If 3 markers are taken it is likely to obtain the same amount of red and yellow markers. For example, if there are 3 markers you could obtain: red, yellow, blue. Then the number of reds and yellows is the same.

E) <u><em>It is impossible for this to happen</em></u>, because if only 3 markers of two different colors are taken, then there will always be 2 markers of one color and only one marker of another color:

green, green, yellow

blue, blue, green

blue, red, red .....

So the first 4 results are possible. Only the last result is impossible to obtain

A family buys 5 airline tickets online. The family buys travel insurance that costs ​$17 per ticket. The total cost is ​$890. Le
timurjin [86]

Answer:  Equation that represents this situation is 5(x+17) = 1495,

Price of one ticket is 282

Step-by-step explanation:

Here x represents the price of one ticket,

Also, a person bought travel insurance that costs $17 per ticket.

Hence, the total cost of a person = x + 17

⇒ The total cost of 5 person = 5 ( x + 17 )

But, According to the question,

5 ( x + 17 ) = 1495

⇒ x + 17 = 299

⇒ x = 299 - 17

⇒ x = 282

Hence, the price of one ticket = $ 282
