(6x+2.4):3 /59=2.25:1/3 find x

Sagot :

We will interpret the question as follows:

[tex](6x+2.4)\colon\frac{3}{59}=2.25\colon\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

The symbol, :, denotes the ratio of two quantities. Then, we can rewrite it as follows:

[tex]\frac{(6x+2.4)}{\frac{3}{59}}=\frac{2.25}{\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]

Using proportions, we can multiply the means of the proportions by the extremes of them as follows:

[tex]\frac{1}{3}(6x+2.4)=2.25\cdot\frac{3}{59}[/tex]

We have that:

[tex]2.25=2+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{8+1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

And

[tex]2.4=\frac{24}{10}=\frac{12}{5}[/tex]

Then, we have:

[tex]\frac{1}{3}(6x+2.4)=2.25\cdot\frac{3}{59}\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}(6x+\frac{12}{5})=\frac{9}{4}\frac{3}{59}[/tex]

We can multiply by 3 to both sides of the equation:

[tex]3\cdot\frac{1}{3}(6x+\frac{12}{5})=3\frac{9}{4}\frac{3}{59}[/tex][tex]6x+\frac{12}{5}=\frac{9}{4}\frac{9}{59}[/tex]

Subtracting 12/5 from both sides of the equation:

[tex]6x+\frac{12}{5}-\frac{12}{5}=\frac{9}{4}\frac{9}{59}-\frac{12}{5}[/tex][tex]6x=\frac{9}{4}\frac{9}{59}-\frac{12}{5}[/tex]

If we multiply both sides by 1/6, we finally have:

[tex]\frac{1}{6}6x=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{9}{4}\frac{9}{59}-\frac{12}{5})[/tex][tex]x=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{9}{4}\frac{9}{59}-\frac{12}{5})=-\frac{809}{2360}\approx$-0.342796610169$[/tex]

In summary, the value for x in fractional and also in decimal form is:

[tex]x==-\frac{809}{2360}\approx$-0.342796610169$[/tex]
