Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Maybe you want to find x such that ...
2/7 = x/(x +10)
2(x +10) = 7x . . . . . . multiply by 7(x+10)
20 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x, simplify
4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

<em>Additional comment</em>
You can almost solve this "by inspection" if you recognize the difference of the denominator and numerator is 5 on the left and 10 on the right. If you multiply the fraction on the left by 2/2, you get 4/14, the values in x/(x+10) in the fraction on the right.
Answer:
Red = 30 drops
Blue = 20 drops
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio red to blue is 3 : 2
Sum of ratios = 3 + 2 = 5
Required purple paint = 50 gallons
So,
Now, Red drops = 3×10 = 30
Blue drops = 2×10 = 20
50 - 6 = 44
44/4 = 11
The price per yard is $11.
