X= -1 and -11
Put -1 and -11 in for x. The answer comes out 6
First, find the simplified ratio of the given ratio:
Number of pirates: 22
Number of ships: 2
Divide 22 with 2 to find the ratio: 22/2 = 11
For every ship there is, there will be 11 pirates.
Now, find the ratio for the other questions:
IF there are 5 ships: 5 x 11 = 55
If there are 5 ships, there will be 55 pirates.
If there are 11 ships: 11 x 11 = 121
If there are 11 ships, there will be 121 pirates.
~
1. (5x - 2) + 7x = 12x - 2
2. 6(x - 5) > 22
6x - 30 > 22
6x > 52
x > 52/6
x > 26/3
