Amount of dividend that PRH will receive is $833,625.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following are given in the question:

Total number of shares of Marks Brothers = 78,000

Percentage of shares of Marks Brothers held by PRH = 19%

Dividend per share = $56.25

Therefore, we can now proceed as follows:

Number of shares of Marks Brothers held by PRH = Total number of shares of Marks Brothers * Percentage of shares of Marks Brothers held by PRH = 78,000 * 19% = 14,820

Amount of dividend that PRH will receive = Number of shares of Marks Brothers held by PRH * Dividend per share = 14,820 * $56.25 = $833,625

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3

you,

mrb

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
