One way in which to approach this problem would be to treat it as an equation of ratios and to cross multiply:
<span>[(4x + 15) / 5x)] = 1/2 could be written as:
4x + 15 1
----------- = ---
5x 2
Then 8x + 30 = 5x
3x = -30, and so x = -10 (answer). Be certain to check this answer through substitution!

Sean read 15 of a book in = 112 hours,
so, 1 of a book in = 112/15
Now, 12 of a book would be: 112/15 * 12 = 112/5 * 4 = 89.6
89.6 = 89 6/10 = 89 3/5
In short, Your Answer would be 89 3/5 hours
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x= 1
QS = 10 cm
QRS = 40cm
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 1 = 5x
x= 1 cm
QS = 4x + 1 + 5x
= 9x + 1
= 9 + 1
= 10cm
QRS perimeter
QS + RQ + RS but ( RQ = RS)
= 10 + 15 + 15
= 40cm
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
She originally had 23 because if she gave away 6 bags of chips, she would have 17 left
