If the ratio of wiping is the green peas is 2 to 8 and there are a total of 30 pens how many pens are white

1 answer:

8 0

2x+8x=30. x= #of pens

10x=30. combine like terms

x=3. divide by 10 to isolate (get by itself) x

2(3)=6. the # of white pens are represented by 2x

6 white pens

hope this helped!

please explain the steps that are used to solve this??? Given:2(10 -13x)+9=-34x+60 Step 1:20-26x=-34x+60 Step 2:-26x=-34x+40 Ste

You left out the 9 in the whole equation. The 1st step you had right you just forgot to put +9. 2nd step you are combining the like terms and get 11-26x=-34x+40. Step 3: you are trying to isolate the x on one of the sides. You need to switch the 11 over to the 40 and get 29. Move -34x over to -26x and get 8x. Step 4 all you are doing in dividing 8 from both sides and get 5.
