-2x - 4 = 12
add 4 to both sides of the equation
-2x = 16
divide -2 from both sides of the equation
x = -8
the new fraction: 8/3 or 2 2/3
Answer:
73,084
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3x and 2x can be combined bc it has ex at the end.
1 and 2x cannot be combined bc 1 doesn't have an x.
1 and -5 can be combined
To figure this out, we need to use fractional proportions.
Currently, we have $120, the amount earned, and 2 days, the current rate.
Our fraction for this is: 120 / 2 = x / 6, x being the amount earned in 6 days.
Let's use a little technique to help us answer faster.
With our current money earned, 120, and our current days, 2, we can divide 120 by 2 to find out how many we earned in 1 day.
120 / 2 = 60.
We earned $60 per day.
With this formula, 60d, d being the amount of days, we can solve quicker.
We are solving for 6 days, so multiply $60 by 6 days.
60 x 6 = 360
Your proportion is :
120/2 : 360/6
I hope this helps!
