1. simplify -7x-3x+2 to -10x+2
 -10x+2=-8x-8
2. add 10x to both sides
2=-8x-8+10x
3. simplify -8x-8+10x to 2x-8
2=2x-8
4. add 8 to both sides
2+8=2x
5. simplify 2+8 to 10
10=2x
6. divide both sides by 2
10/2=x
7. simplify 10/2 to 5
5=x
8. switch sides
x=5

1. simplify x-4x to -3x
-8-x=-3x
2. add x to both sides
-8=-3x+x
3. simplify -3x+x to -2x
-8=-2x
4. divide both sides by -2
-8/-2=x
5. two negatives make a positive
8/2=x
6. simplify 8/2 to 4
4=x
7. switch sides
x=4
hope this helps

100 points / please help, im lost
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

12:15 is NOT proportional to 3:4

Step-by-step explanation:

7.5:10 is proportional to 3:4 because 3×2.5=7.5, and 4×2.5=10.

39:52 is proportional to 3:4 because 3×13=39, and 4×13=52

45:60 is proportional to 3:4 because 3x15=45, and 4×15=60

12:15 is not proportional to 3:4 because while you can multiply 3x4=12, you can not multiply 4×4 to get 15, you get 16 instead.
