If x = y+3+4.5x and y = x+24, what is the value of x/y ? Pick.
A) -6/5. B) -7/20. C) -1/2. D) 5/6. E) 1.5.
(1) x = y + 3 + 4.5x   Substitute y for y = x + 24 (Eq. we are given)   x = x + 24 + 3 + 4.5x   -1/2.ombine like terms   x = 5.5x + 27 --&gt; -4.5x = 27--&gt; x = -6   (2) y = x + 18   Substitute x for x = -6   y = (-6) + 18=

<output>12</output>
12   (3) x/y= ?   Substitute x and y we found above   x/y = (-6) / (12) = -1/2   My answer: -1/2.
