So exg
feet to inches or vice verca

ft units cancel
3 times 12=36=answer

convert 48 in to feet
1 ft=12 in
conversion factor 1ft=12in

Equations and inequalities
DerKrebs [107]
Inequalities and equations use similar steps to solve, but inequalities give a range of numbers that can represent the variable while an equation will give a direct answer.

Example:

4+5x=24

First you would subtract 4 or add the opposite of 4 from 24.

4+5x=24
+(-4) +(-4)
—————
5x=20

Then divide each side by 5 or multiply each side by the reciprocal of 5 to isolate the variable.

1/5*5x=20*1/5 (reciprocal)
X= 4

You would use the same steps in an inequality but end up with a different sign.

The appropriate mixing ratio for a solution to kill bloodborne pathogens is 1 part chlorine to 10 parts water. If you are mixing
lorasvet [3.4K]
The ratio is:
Chlorine : Water = 1 : 10
m ( Water ) = 15 ounces
m ( Chlorine ) = x
x : 15 = 1 : 10
10 x = 15 * 1
10 x = 15
x = 15 : 10
x = 1.5 ounces
Answer:
We need to add 1.5 ounces of Chlorine for the correct ratio.

Can someone explain me how to solve this?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

X=12

Step-by-step explanation:

since it is an isosceles triangle opposite sides are congruent which means 7x+24=13x-48 you then would need to subtract either the whole numbers or the variables from each side so add 48 on each side it equals to 7x+72=13x then subtract 7x from 13x and you get 72=6x divide both sides 6/6=x, 72/6 Therefore x=12 HOPE that helped mark me brainiest pls
