Answer:
x=1.6
Step-by-step explanation:
.40=.25x
you move .25 to the other side which would look like this .40/.25=x and then you solve for x, which you would get 1.6.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay this is an odd question, but what i'm thinking is that
first you have
5x+5
To actually be able to solve we have to move the 5 to the other side.
To do this we subtract it.
Making the equation
5x = -5
Then you need to isolate the variable (X)
So divide 5X by 5, and then divide -5/5
Which leaves you with:
x=-1
Answer:
4(2 - x)(2 + x)
Step-by-step explanation:
16 - 4x² ← factor out 4 from each term
= 4(4 - x²) ← difference of 2 squares
= 4(2 - x)(2 + x) ← in factored form
If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio:

Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication, so that's what I'll show you here:

Finally, solve for x:

If you had 100 balloons, you will have
40 yellow balloons.
Hope this helps!!
