Answer: Yes</h3>
========================================================
Explanation
The ratio 8:10 simplifies to 4:5 when you divide both parts by 2.
The ratio 16:20 simplifies to 4:5 when you divide both parts by 4
Therefore the two ratios 8:10 and 16:20 are both equal 4:5, so they are equal to one another.
------------
Put another way,
(8 large)/(10 small) = (16 large)/(20 small)
8/10 = 16/20
8*20 = 10*16 ... cross multiply
160 = 160
We get a true equation, so the first equation is true as well.
This shows the ratios are equivalent.
-------------
Or you could have...
(8 large)/(16 large) = (10 small)/(20 small)
8/16 = 10/20
8*20 = 16*10
160 = 160
We get the same conclusion as before.
Steve didn't put the parenthesis when he went to the second part of the equation, instead of putting the parenthesis he skipped them and keep going along with the equation.
I don't know if you needed this but the answer to the math problem would be
Answer: 2 x
Incorrect info please upload a correct photo of the problem
(a) We have ⌊<em>x</em>⌋ = 5 if 5 ≤ <em>x</em> < 6, and similarly ⌊<em>x</em>/3⌋ = 5 if
5 ≤ <em>x</em>/3 < 6 ==> 15 ≤ <em>x</em> < 18
(b) ⌊<em>x</em>⌋ = -2 if -2 ≤ <em>x</em> < -1, so ⌊<em>x</em>/3⌋ = -2 if
-2 ≤ <em>x</em>/3 < -1 ==> -6 ≤ <em>x</em> < -3
In general, ⌊<em>x</em>⌋ = <em>n</em> if <em>n</em> ≤ <em>x</em> < <em>n</em> + 1, where <em>n</em> is any integer.
I do not understand what is being asked in (c) and (d), so you'll have to clarify...

Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
You solve a linear equation by putting the variable on one side of the equal sign and a constant on the other side. Here, variables and constants are on both sides of the equal sign, so you need to separate them.
The basic idea is that you add the opposite of any term you don't want. Whenever you perform any operation (like "add"), <em>you must do it to both sides of the equation</em>.
We observe that x-terms have coefficients of 10 and 9. We choose to add the opposite of 9x to both sides:
10 -9x -5 = 9x -9x +2
x -5 = 2 . . . . simplify
Now, we still have -5 on the left, where we don't want it. So, we add its opposite (+5) to both sides:
x -5 +5 = 2 +5
x = 7 . . . . simplify
The solution is x = 7.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If we were to end up with an x-coefficient other than 1, we would divide both sides of the equation by that coefficient. This will leave the x-term with a coefficient of 1.
