Answer:
when you have two fractions that equal each other you want to solve by using cross multiply
What cross multiply is, is when you multiply diagonally so:
8/x=14/7
you would take 14*x and 8*7
14x=56 (you would then divide each side by 14)
x=4 (14/14=1, 56/14=4)
8/4=14/7
To check your work you could simplify
8/4=2
14/7=2
2=2, which is true
x=4
Hope this helps ;)
Let x be the number of square feet to be mowed
215 square feet take 22 minutes
x square feet take 12 minutes
Answer:
it's 4488 Wich would make 187
Multiply the numbers: 3 x 2=6 = 6x + 5 - 12x - 2 x 149x
Next Multiply the numbers 149 x 2 = 298
Then, Group like terms, =-6x-12x-298x+5
Add similar elements -6x-12x-298x=-316x,
and you get -316x+5!
Black lives matter , yes they do
