It took 12 days for all the 60 gallons of water to leak out of the barrel. If you divide 60 by 5 you will get 12.
I think is
4x - 3 (-2) = 18
4x + 6 = 18
4x = 12
x = 3
In the division rule you subtract the exponents<span> when </span>dividing<span> numbers with the same base. </span>One<span> rule for exponents is that exponents add when you have the same base. This works for any number x that you want to plug in except for x = </span>0<span>,because </span>0/0<span> is indeterminate (it is like dividing </span>zero<span> by </span>zero<span>). No matter what number we use when it is raised to the </span>zero power<span> it will always be </span>1.
The amount of girls in the club is 18 out of the 32 members.
To find the amount of boys there, we subtract 18 out of 32
32 - 18 = 14
so there are 14 boys in the club
Now to find the ratio of girls to boys...
18/14
simplified to 9/7 (option D.)
Hope this helps :)
