The best way to answer this question is to set up the first sentence as a ratio of large bandages to total bandages. You would write 5 large bandages to 7 total bandages to 7 total bandages.  Then you would make this equivalent to x number of large bandages to 60 total.  It would look like this 5:7 = x:60.  You could use cross products to multiply 60 by 5 to get 300.  7 times x also should equal 300.  Unfortunately, this example will not leave us with a whole number of bandages, but 300/7 is a repeating decimal or a mixed number (42 6/7 large bandages).

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 188. list the numbers from smallest to largest:
mixer [17]
X and x+ 2 equal 188
add all the like terms to get 2x+2=188
subtract 2 from each side
2x=186
divide by 2
x=93
so the numbers are 93 and 95

8xy= 2(2x + y) solve for y
STatiana [176]

Answer:  \displaystyle y= \frac{2\text{x}}{4\text{x} - 1}

============================================

Work Shown:

8\text{x}y= 2(2\text{x} + y)\\\\8\text{x}y= 4\text{x} + 2y\\\\8\text{x}y - 2y= 4\text{x}\\\\y(8\text{x} - 2)= 4\text{x}\\\\y= \frac{4\text{x}}{8\text{x} - 2}\\\\y= \frac{2*2\text{x}}{2(4\text{x} - 1)}\\\\y= \frac{2\text{x}}{4\text{x} - 1}\\\\

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

Explanation:

The idea is to first get all the y terms to one side. I did this by subtracting 2y from both sides in the third step.

Then factor out y and divide both sides by (8x-2)

Afterward there's the optional steps of simplifying (as shown in the final two steps).

Add.<br> (-x^3+26x^2-7-13)+(6x^4-x^3+8x+27)<br> express the answer in standard form.
Alex777 [14]
(-x^3+26x^2-7-13)+(6x^4-x^3+8x+27)\\\\=-x^3+26x^2-7-13+6x^4-x^3+8x+27\\\\=6x^4+(-x^3-x^3)+26x^2+8x+(27-7-13)\\\\=\boxed{6x^4-2x^3+26x^2+8x+7}
