Use a proportion.

3 counselors to 24 campers equals x counselors to 40 campers.

3/24 = x/40

1/8 = x/40

x = 1/8 * 40

x = 5

Answer: 5

-5x is - 40 + 3x<br> Find x
irina [24]

Answer: x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set the two given expressions equal to each other (because the problem says they are interchangeable)

-5x = -40+3x

2. Subtract 3x from -5x to have x on one side of the equation.

-8x = -40

3. Divide each side by -8 to get the value of x.

x = 5

stiks02 [169]
If he runs 1/2 a mile in 5 minutes then 60 minutes would be 5x12 and 1/2x12 would be 6 so he can run 6 miles per hour
