(2•6)(2•6)(2•6)
Basically I just expanded the equation
Answer:
2(b-2)=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Twice the difference means multiply the difference by two
It explains the difference being between the unknown number(b) and 2
The answer is said to be six
So you put the difference (b-2)
Multiply it 2(b-2)
and finally, add the answer: 2(b-2)=6
Set up the equation by writing the number of students in the ratio as a fraction:
3/4= (245-x)/x Cross multiply:
3x= 4(245-x) Multiply on right:
3x= 980-4x Add 4x on both sides:
7x= 980 Divide both sides by 7:
x= 140 this is how many girls there are. And:
245-140= 105= boys
It would take 70,000 seeds if five out of seven are good. So over a quantity of 50,000 plants desired, you would sow 70,000 seeds. As 20,000 would statistically fail.
