Solve for x:5 x + 3 (x + 4) = -20
3 (x + 4) = 3 x + 12:3 x + 12 + 5 x = -20
Grouping like terms, 5 x + 3 x + 12 = (5 x + 3 x) + 12:(5 x + 3 x) + 12 = -20
5 x + 3 x = 8 x:8 x + 12 = -20
Subtract 12 from both sides:8 x + (12 - 12) = -12 - 20
12 - 12 = 0:8 x = -20 - 12
-20 - 12 = -32:8 x = -32
Divide both sides of 8 x = -32 by 8:(8 x)/8 = (-32)/8
8/8 = 1:x = (-32)/8
The gcd of -32 and 8 is 8, so (-32)/8 = (8 (-4))/(8×1) = 8/8×-4 = -4:Answer: x = -4
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
From the circle graph :
Salad sold :
Caesar = 70%
Garden = 16%
Taco = 14%
If 35 of the salad sold were Caesar ;
Then ; this means
70% = 35
Total salad sold %= (70+16+14)% = 100%
Let total sales = x
70% = 35
100% = x
Cross multiply :
70% * x = 100% * 35
0.7x = 35
x = 35 / 0.7
x = 50
2/5 because you used 2/5 of the flour, you would use 2/5 of the sugar.
You simplify a fraction by finding it's greatest common factor. A greatest common factor is what both numbers are divisible by. If they can both be divided by two, then you've simplified them a little bit. Keep going until you can't find a common number that can be divided by the two, and you've got your simplified fraction. For example, 10/5 = 1/2 since both 10 and 5 is divisible by 5.
