Answer:
The answer is 400 :)
Step-by-step explanation:
hope that helped a little
Multiply the ratio by 25 and then you will get 50 matchsticks, and 75 bottle tops :)
The first equation is x = -1
The second and third equations are no solution
The third equation is all rel numbers.
We can tell each one by solving them. In the first one, you get the following.
4 + x = -8x - 5 ----> Add 8x to both sides
4 + 9x = -5 ----> Subtract 4 from both sides
9x = -9 ----> Divide both sides by 9
x = -1
For the middle two, when you attempt to solve, you get untrue statements. This shows there are no solutions. See the example below.
7 + 2x = 2x - 7 ----> Subtract 2x from both sides
7 = -7 (UNTRUE)
And for the last one, each term cancels out, which shows that we have all real solutions.
-3x + 3 = 3( 1 - x) ----> Distribute the 3
-3x + 3 = 3 - 3x ----> Add 3x to both sides
3 = 3 (TRUE)
