Answer:
q = 2p - 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
2q + 2p = 1+5q
2q = 1+5q-2p
-3q=1-2p
-q = 1-2p/3
q= 2p-1/3
The easiest way to solve a problem like this is to cross multiply and solve
The problem gives us a ratio
2 pounds of granola = 3 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of

The other ratio is
? pounds of granola = 24 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of

To solve, set them equal to each other ...

Now we must cross multiply...
To cross multiply, we multiply
2 and 24 and we multiply
3 and x Now we have an equation to solve!
3x = 48 To solve and get your final answer, divide...
x =
x = 16
You'll need 16 pounds of granola
It's along the number line
15.50+1.50x =26
1.50x = 10.50
x = 7
