There is nothing that multiplies to 12 and adds to 4.
Answer:
x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure shows two similar triangles. Thus, the side lengths of similar triangles are proportional to each other. Therefore:


Cross multiply


Subtract 24x from each side


Divide both sides by -15

x = 40
The answer is x=8 or x=-13
A. there are 72 right-handed batters. this is what you do:
5:8
45:?
45/5=9
8*9=72 so
45:72
b. there are 45 left-handed batters
the total batters is 45+72=117
so the ratio of left-handed to the total batter would be 45:117
hope this helps :)
