Question

1) 4x +8
7. 60 is divided into 2 parts, such that one-half of the first parts
equals one-third of the second part. If the first part is x, Which of
the equations can be used to find x
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation can be used to find x is x/2 =( 60-x)/3 or 5x-120=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

60 is divided into 2 parts, such that one-half of the first parts

60 is divided into 2 parts, such that one-half of the first partsequals one-third of the second part.

To find:

find x

Solution:

Let the first part be x

then the second part be (60-x)

first part =( 1/3) second part

=> x/2 =( 60-x)/3

=> 3x/2 = 60-x

=> 3x/2+x = 60

=> (3x+2x)/2=60

=>5x/2=60

=>5x=60×2

=>5x = 120

=>x= 120/5

=>x= 24

>x= 24 and

60-x= 60-24= 36

Answer:

The two numbers 24 and 36

First part =24

Second part = 36

Check:

one half of the first part = 24/2= 12

one third of the second part = 36/3 = 12

both are equal.

Answer 2

Answer:

24 and 36 are the 2 parts
