P r o p o r t i o n s

3:4 = 7

3/198 = 7/x

solve for x using cross multiplying

3/198 = 7/x

198(7) = 3x
1386 = 3x
/3         /3
   462 = x

Therefore, there are 462 workers.

Proof:

3/198 = 4/x
198(4) = 3x
792 = 3x
/3        /3
264 = x

264 + 198 = 462.

264 / 4 = 66
198 / 3 = 66
462 / 7 = 66

(4k^4 + 2 - 3k) + (5k^4 + k - 8)
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Hello!

You can only add values that have the same terms

4k^4 + 5k^4 = 9k^4

-3k + k = -2k

-8 + 2 = -6

The answer is 9k^4 - 2k - 6

Hope this helps!
