Answer:

-2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

first you are going to distrubute 2/5, so 2/5 times x is 2/5x and 2/5 times -2 is -4/5

next you set up the problem with those two answers which gives you:

2/5x - 4/5 = 4x

then multiply both sides of the equation by 5: 2x-4=20x

next move the constant to the right side and chnage the sign: 2x=20x+4

then combine like terms: -18x=4

after that divide both sides of the equation by -18: -2/9

so x= -2/9

Answer:

x = -2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 (x - 2) = 4x

2/5x - 4/5 = 4x

2/5x - 4x = 4/5

2/5x - 20/5x = 4/5

- 18/5x = 4/5

- x = 4/5 / 18/5

- x = 4/5 * 5/18

- x = 4/18

x = - 4/18

x = - 2/9

3 out of 5 picks are orange. If 12 picks are orange, has many picks are there in all.
hodyreva [135]
If 3 out of 5 are oranges, this means the ratio is 3 oranges for every 5 total.

If there are 12 oranges, this is 4 groups of 3 oranges.  You will need 4 groups of 5 total to make it equivalent.

4 x 5 = 20 total fruit.

<u>3</u> x <u>4 </u>=  <u>12</u>
5 x 4     20
