</span><span>2x - 12 <span>+ 12 </span>= 14 <span>+ 12</span>
2x = 26

Now divide both sides by 2 to isolate the x
</span><span>
2x / 2 = 26 / 2
x = 13.

The solution is x = 13.

Hope this helps!

Let me know if there's anything you're still confused about and I'll try to help you out.

Solving for x like this is definitely something you want to master and be able to do on your own, because you'll be doing it in future math.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The total amount of Jolly Ranchers in the container is 60 Jolly Ranchers

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a ratio of

Red Jolly Ranchers : Green Jolly Ranchers

3:7

Sum of the proportion = 3 + 7 = 10

Hence:

Let the total number of jolly ranchers = x

7/10 of x = 42 Green Jolly Ranchers

Hence:

7/10 × x = 42

7x /10 = 42

Cross Multiply

7x = 420

x = 420/7

x = 60 Jolly Ranchers

The total amount of Jolly Ranchers in the container is 60 Jolly Ranchers
