7 0

Answer:

  (a)  -20 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion can be solved using "cross multiply" as the first step. This eliminates the fractions and turns it into a linear equation.

  2/7 = -5/(x +3) . . . . . given

  2(x +3) = -35 . . . . . . multiply by 7(x +3)

  2x = -41 . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 6

  x = -20 1/2 . . . . . . divide by 2

Difference between DIRECT and INDIRECT ratio?​
MakcuM [25]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a direct proportion, the ratio between matching quantities stays the same if they are divided. (They form equivalent fractions). In an indirect (or inverse) proportion, as one quantity increases, the other decreases.  In an inverse proportion, the product of the matching quantities stays the same.

Rx+h=sx-k solve for x
timama [110]
Rx + h = sx - k        Take all with x to the LHS

Rx - sx = -k - h

x(R - s) = - k -h

x =  (-k - h) / (R - s).  Multiply top and bottom by -1.

x =  (k + h) / (s - R)
