The answer is A assuming that the 7 is negative cause its on the left side of the 0 but I am positive the answer is A
Answer: 12
Step by step explanation:
First simplify both sides of the equation
( 4 )( b ) + ( 4 ) ( - 2 ) + -10 = 2b + 6 (distribute)
4b + -8 + -10 = 2b + 6
(4b) + (-8 + -10 ) = 2b + 6 (combine like terms)
4b + -18 = 2b + 6
4b - 18 = 2b + 6
Then subtract 2b from both sides
4b - 18 - 2b = 2b + 6 - 2b
2b - 18 = 6
After that you add 18 to both sides
2b - 18 + 18 = 6 + 18
2b = 24
2b/2 = 24/2
b = 12
M2=5x+10

Answer is 10:7</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation
It sounds like you want the decimal number to become a whole number. If so, then one way is to multiply both parts by 10 to move that decimal point over one spot to the right
3*10 = 30
2.1*10 = 21
The ratio 3:2.1 is equivalent to 30:21
-----
Then notice how 30 and 21 have the greatest common factor 3. Divide both parts by 3 so we can fully reduce this ratio
30/3 = 10
21/3 = 7
The ratio 30:21 simplifies fully to 10:7
The numbers 10 and 7 do not have any factors in common, other than 1, so we cannot reduce 10:7 any further.
