Divide 2m in the ratio 9-1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add up the two numbers in the ratio to get 8. Next divide the total amount by 8, i.e. divide £40 by 8 to get £5. £5 is the amount of each 'unit' in the ratio.

To calculate the ratio of an amount we divide the amount by the total number of parts in the ratio and then multiply this answer by the original ratio. We want to work out $20 shared in the ratio of 1:3.

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10

if you was gonna solve for a, a is a   < -12
