Solve x/5 - 1=7? help please !!

1 answer:

6 0

First, add 1 on both sides of the equation to begin to isolate x

x/5 = 8

Now, to isolate x, multiply both sides of the equation by 5/1

$\frac{x}{5}$ · $\frac{5}{1}$ = $\frac{5x}{5}$ = x

x= 7 · 5/1 = 7 · 5 = 35

x = 35

Tony owns a car lot. He orders cars and motorcycles at a ratio 5:2. Find an equivalent ratio if Tony ordered 25 cars. Then find

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

10 motorcycles and 30 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 25 cars and a 5:2 ratio, then 25/5=5, and 5x2=10, then there will be 10 motorcycles.

5:2

Divide by 5 | Multiply by 2

If there are 12 motorcycles, then 12/2=6 and 6x5=30. The ratio is reversed because the translation required is reversed.

2:5

Divide by 2 | Multiply by 5
