Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you're solving for x
3/4 (4x + 8) = -12
you distribute the 3/4 to 4x and 8 so
3/4 times 4x = 3x
3/4 times 8 = 6
now looks like
3x + 6 = -12
3x = -12 - 6
3x = -18
x = -6

6:5
- there are 165 counters in the bag.
let the white counter be x
2x + x = 165
divide both sides by 3
there are 55 white counters in the bag
165-55=110
OR
2x= 165
divide both sides by 2
x= 110
- there are 110 black counters in the bag
- Martine takes 40%of the black counter
40%= 40/100×110
= 44.
- 44 black counters was taken out of the bag
- then there would be 66 black counters left I.e(110-44=66)
▪︎ there would be 66 black and 55 white counters in the bag.
- ratio of black counters to the white counter = 66:55
- reduced to the lowest term = 6:5 ( 11 divides 66 and 55 Into 6 and 5)
• the answer is 6:5
