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}

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!

Find the Range and Domain of the Binary relations
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A = {3,5,6}

B = {1,3}

<u><em>A x B</em></u> = {(3,1),(3,3),(5,1),(5,3),(6,1),(6,3)}

Domain of A x B = (The x figures in ascending order)

=> {3,5,6}     (Figures repeating more than once must be written only 1 time)

Range of A x B = (The y figures in ascending order)

=> {1,3}

<u><em>B x A </em></u>= {(1,3),(3,3),(1,5),(3,5),(1,6),(3,6)}

Domain of B x A = {1,3}

Range of A x B = {3,5,6}
