Answer:
3: 2q − 4 = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for q:
2 q - 4 = 20
Add 4 to both sides:
2 q + (4 - 4) = 4 + 20
4 - 4 = 0:
2 q = 20 + 4
20 + 4 = 24:
2 q = 24
Divide both sides of 2 q = 24 by 2:
(2 q)/2 = 24/2
2/2 = 1:
q = 24/2
The gcd of 24 and 2 is 2, so 24/2 = (2×12)/(2×1) = 2/2×12 = 12:
Answer: q = 12
Answer: 4:20 but that simplified would be 1:5
Triangles to squares
I found that Joe has 28 red pepper plants and 8 green pepper plants.
to find this, I first set up a proportion:
7/2 = (20+x)/x
then you cross multiply giving you:
7x = 40 + 2x
Subtract 2x from both sides:
5x = 40
solve for x:
x = 8 (which is the amount of green pepper plants)
to find how many red pepper plants he has, plug in x for (20 + x) giving you 28 red pepper plants
Hope I helped :)
