There's only one step to solve this problem (that's if you're looking for it)
Because,
First subtract 4 from both sides

then simplify

add -5 to both sides

since a variable shouldn't be negative the answer should be

(I prefer having the variable on the left side)
Hello
To find an equal ratio, you can either multiply or divide each term in the ratio by the same number (but not zero). For example, if we divide both terms in the ratio 3:6 by the number three, then we get the equal ratio, 1:2.
Answer:
$2500 - 2%
$1500 - 4%
Step-by-step explanation:
Say the interest for the $2500 is x, so the interest for the $1500 is x+0.02.
As an equation, they would look like this:
2500x+1500(x+0.02)=110
Now solve
2500+1500x+30=110
4000x=80
x=0.02
That means the interest for the $2500 is 0.02, or 2%, and the interest for the $1500 is 0.04, or 4%.
