Hey there!
Apply fraction cross multiply: if a/b = c/d , then a *d = b*c
2 ( 5x - 2 ) = ( 2x + 4 ) * 4
expand : 2 (5x-2 ) => 2*5x - 2*2 => 10x - 4
expand : ( 2x +4 ) * 4 => 2x * 4 + 4*4 => 8x + 16
10x - 4 = 8x+16
add 4 to both sides:
10x-4+4 = 8x+16+4
simplify :
10x = 8x + 20
subtract 8x from both sides:
10x -8x = 8x+20-8x
simplify:
2x = 20
Therefore:
x = 20 / 2
x = 10
Hope that helps!
Answer:
x = 17
y = 8
QPR = 35º
QRP = 60º
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 1 = x + 18
Subtract x from both sides
x + 1 = 18
Subtract 1 from both sides
x = 17
QPR = 2x + 1
QPR = 2(17) + 1
QPR = 35º
-------------------------------
8y - 4 = 4y + 28
Subtract 4y from both sides
4y - 4 = 28
Add 4 to both sides
4y = 32
Divide both sides by 4
y = 8
QPR = 8y - 4
QRP = 8(8) - 4
QRP = 60º

Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
The number who bought expensive tickets is 3/5 of the number who bought cheap tickets.
(3/5)(35) = 21
21 people bought the more expensive ticket.
