Answer: x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 5(x) and 5(-2)

-12 + 6x = 6 + 5x + (-10) OR 5x - 10

Flip if you'd like

6x - 12 = 6 + 5x - 10

Combine like terms

6x−12=(5x)+(6+−10)

6x - 12 = 5x - 4

Subtract 5x from both 6 and 5

6x - 5x = 5x - 5x

5x cancels out, so you're left with x, 12, and -4

x - 12 = -4

Add 12 to 12 and -4

12 + 12 = -4 + 12

12 cancels out

-4 + 12 = 8

x = 8

alex bakes $24$ apple, blueberry, and cherry pies. The ratio of apple to blueberry to cherry pies is $1:4:3$. How many cherry pi

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Alex baked 9 cherry pies

Step-by-step explanation:

apple : blueberry : cherry = 1:4:3

apple + blueberry + cherry = 24

1 part: 24 / ( 1+4+3) = 24 / 8 = 3

** Cherry has 3 parts: 3 x 3 = 9

check: apple = 3 x 1 = 3

blueberry: 3 x 4 = 12

12 + 3 + 9 = 24
