Answer:

6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

15.95+10.95+17.10 = 44

46.86-44 = 2.86

2.86/44 = 0.065

0.065 = 6.5%

Three students, Matthew, Thompson and Amos shared #15000 in the ratio of 5:2:x respectively. If Matthew's share is 7500, calcula

jasenka [17]

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:

$\frac{5}{5 + 2 + x} = \frac{5}{7 + x}$

Both fractions are equal, so:

$\frac{5}{7 + x} = \frac{1}{2}$

Applying cross multiplication:

$7 + x = 10$

$x = 10 - 7$

$x = 3$

The value of x is 3.

If i had the equation -3y=-2x+8 would i divide the 8 by -3 too?

UNO [17]

Not only you're gonna divide 8 by -3 for some reason, but you also divide all terms by -3. For instance,
(-3y = -2x + 8) / -3
(-3/-3)y = (-2/-3)x + 8/-3
y = (2/3)x - 8/3

Hope this helps.
