One way to solve is to set up a proportion. If the ratio of comedies to action is 4:3 (also can be written as the fraction 4/3) then you can set 4/3 equal to 20/x.


4/3 = 20/x

then cross multiply.  

4·x = 3·20


4x = 60  Then divide both sides by 4

x= 15

liraira [26]

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to solving word problems is in translation: turning word into  math

Below is a general approach to most/any word problem

1. Read through the whole question once, without lingering over details, to get some sense of the overall problem

2. identify and label the variables or unknowns in a way that makes it easy to remember what they stand for.

3. translate the problem into one or more equations, sentence by sentence, and be careful of the order in which you translate the terms

4. solve the equation(s)

5. check your work

×WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST×<br>Solve the equation for b, d and x
Lera25 [3.4K]
Solve for d:
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c is equivalent to 2 d - 3 c = (3 (a + x))/b:
2 d - 3 c = (3 (a + x))/b
Add 3 c to both sides:
2 d = 3 c + (3 (a + x))/b
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer: d = (3 c)/2 + (3 (a + x))/(2 b)


-----------------------------

Solve for x:
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c
Multiply both sides by b/3:
a + x = (2 b d)/3 - b c
Subtract a from both sides:
Answer:  x = (2 b d)/3 + (-a - b c)

____________________________


Solve for b:
(3 (a + x))/b = 2 d - 3 c
Take the reciprocal of both sides:
b/(3 (a + x)) = 1/(2 d - 3 c)
Multiply both sides by 3 (a + x):
Answer: b = (3 (a + x))/(2 d - 3 c)
