Ratio is 1:3.....added = 4

1/4(48) = 48/4 = 12
3/4(48) = 144/4 = 36

the 2 groups will be 12 and 36

7(x−5)−9=334 what is the answer of x

slega [8]

Answer:

$\boxed {x = 54}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $x$ :

$7(x - 5) - 9 = 334$

-Use <u>Distributive Property</u>:

$7(x - 5) - 9 = 334$

$7x - 35 - 9 = 334$

-Combine like terms:

$7x - 35 - 9 = 334$

$7x - 44 = 334$

-Add both sides by $44$ :

$7x - 44 + 44 = 334 + 44$

$7x = 378$

-Divide both sides by $7$ :

$\frac{7x}{7}= \frac{378}{7}$

$\boxed {x = 54}$

Therefore, the value of $x$ is $54$ .

Find two consecutive even numbers such that the difference of one-half the larger and two-fifths the smaller is equal to 38

expeople1 [14]

EXPLANATION

The consecutive even numbers are
$370 \: and \: 372$

EXPLANATION

Let
$x$
be the first even number then, the next even number will be,

$x + 2$

The difference of one-half the larger one and two-fifth the smaller one is 38 gives the equation,

$\frac{1}{2} (x + 2) - \frac{2}{5} x = 38$

We multiply through with an LCM of 10 to get,

$10 \times \frac{1}{2} (x + 2) - 10 \times \frac{2}{5} x = 38 \times 10$

This simplifies to,

$5(x + 2) - 4x = 380$

We expand the brackets to get,

$5x + 10 - 4x = 380$

We group like terms to get,

$5x - 4x = 380 - 10$

This simplifies to
$x = 370$

Therefore the next even number is is
$372$
