Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
4/x=8/(x-3)
We can solve this using cross products
4 ( x-3) = 8x
Distribute
4x -12 = 8x
Subtract 4x from each side
4x-4x-12 = 8x-12-4x
-12 =4x
Divide each side by 4
-12/4 = 4x/4
-3 =x
Answer:
Incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let, the first number is x, and the second number is y. Given, the second number is 125% of the first number. So, the equation will be
y = 1.25 x
Or, y= 5/4x
Now, multiplying it with 4/5, we get, x= 4/5y
Or, x= 0.80 y
But, Brad is saying the first number must be 75% of the second number. But here we see that the first number is 80% of the second number. That's why Brad is incorrect.
Answer:
A, or 8
Step-by-step explanation:
the total angle is 102, so we can subtract 54 from 102 to get 6x, then divide by 6.
102 -54 = 48/6 =8
Girls: 81
boys: 75
4x +6 = 156
4x = 150
x = 37.5
2x = 75
girls: 75 + 6
boys: x
