Step-by-step explanation:
let the ration be c
3x and 4x
Now
3x +4x=24
4a-8=28
add 8 to both sides to start to isolate the variable (a)
-8+8 cancels each other out
28+8=36
4a=36
to completely isolate the variable divide both sides by 4
4a÷4=a
36÷4=9
a=9
Answer:
x = 1.14
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2x - 1) + 7 = 6x - 3 - 2(-4x) [Given Equation]
6x - 3 + 7 = 6x - 3 + 8x [Distributive Property]
6x + 4 = 14x - 3 [Combine like-terms]
-8x + 4 = -3 [Subtraction Property of Equality]
-8x = -7 [Subtraction PoE]
x = 1.14 [Division PoE]
Given:
Carol has 88cm of string and cuts it in the ratio 5 : 6.
To find:
How much longer is the longest piece compared to the shortest piece.
Solution:
Let the lengths of two pieces of string are 5x and 6x. Then,




Now, the lengths of pieces are:


And,


The difference between the longer piece and shorter piece is:

Therefore, the longer piece is 8 m longer than the shorter piece.
