30÷5 (the 5 parts from 2:3) is 6 so the first group gets 12 (2x6) and the second gets 18 (3x6)
The solution is -5/4= -1 1/4
Answer:
x=-50
Step-by-step explanation:
31/25x=-62
x=-62/(31/25)
x=(-62/1)(25/31)
x=--1550/31
x=-50
<span>Two teams are playing basketball. Team 1 scored 3.5 times the number of points per basket. Team 2 scored 8 times the number of points per basket. They would've each scored the same amount of points if Team 1 had scored 54 more points.
Solve:
54+3.5x=8x :Write out the equation
-3.5x -3.5x :Subtract 3.5x from both sides to isolate the variable
54=4.5x :Simplify
/4.5 /4.5 :Divide by 4.5 on both sides
12=x :Answer=12
Next you would find each team's score:
8x= 8(12)= 96 :substitute and solve
Each team score is 96 points
(Note: Since each team score was equal, you don't have to solve for each team, just one and preferably the easier one, and that is the score that each team scored.) </span>
