I assume you are calculating the total area to be painted.
Then 3 x 8.3 x 7.5 = 186.75 sq. ft.
In order to find what one part is in a ratio, you have to add the ratio up ( 5+ 3) and divide it by the number you're looking for (56). In this case, you get 56/8, which gives you 7. Therefore, each part is worth 7. You then have to multiply both sides of the ratio (5 and 3) by 7. 5x7= 35. 3x7= 21.
Therefore, 56 divided into the ratio of 5:3 is 35:21
The expression of the mathematical statement given as "Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago" is x = 4 * (x - 15)
<h3>How to rewrite the statement as an expression?</h3>
The mathematical statement is given as
Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago
From the statement, we have:
x represent Juan's current age
This means that his age 15 years ago is
15 years ago = x - 15
4 times his age 15 years ago is
4 * 15 years ago = 4 * (x - 15)
The above equation is equivalent to his current age
So, we have
x = 4 * (x - 15)
Hence, the expression of the mathematical statement given as "Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago" is x = 4 * (x - 15)

Hello!
We are given the equation below.
x+40=3x
We want to get all of the variables on side. First of all let's subtract 40 from both sides.
x=3x-40
Now we rearrange our equation so the commutative property will work.
x=3x+(-40)
x=-40+3x
Now we subtract 3x from both sides.
-2x=-40
We divide both sides by -2.
x=20
Our answer is A) 20.
I hope this helps!
