If $500 is shared in the ratio 2:3:9 then the difference between the largest and the smallest shares is

$250

Step-by-step explanation:

Total parts:

2+3+9 = 14

500/14 = 250/7

2×250/7 : 3×250/7 : 9×250/7

500/7 : 750/7 : 2250/7

The largest share is 2250/7, the smallest share is 500/7.

Find the difference.

2250/7 - 500/7 = 250

$250

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3x+9x= $500

9x-2x= 7x=?

14x= $500

7x= $500/2= $250

the answer will be

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
