Grandma Gertrude gave 131313 pieces of jewelry and Grandma Fien gave yyy pieces of jewelry to the Carlson sisters to divide evenly among themselves. There are 555 Carlson sisters. How many pieces of jewelry did each sister receive?

(13 + y) / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Grandma Gertrude gave 13 pieces of jewelry and Grandma Fien gave y pieces of jewelry to the Carlson sisters, the total jewellery given to the sisters will be:

= 13 + y

Since there are 5 Carlson sisters, the number of pieces of jewelry that each sister receive will be:

= Total jewelries / Number of sisters

= (13 + y) / 5

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
