Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x−5)+8=4

(2)(x)+(2)(−5)+8=4(Distribute)

2x+−10+8=4

(2x)+(−10+8)=4(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−2=4

2x−2=4

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2x−2+2=4+2

2x=6

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 6/2

x=3

Ahab needs to mix 3.5 cups of liquid iced tea concentrate with 3 cups of water to make iced tea. Ahab has 21 cups of iced tea co

liraira [26]

Answer:

39 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that the 3.5 cups of concentrate make 3.5+3 = 6.5 cups of tea, we can use the proportion ...

6.5/3.5 = x/21

to find the x cups of tea Ahab can make with 21 cups of concentrate.

Multiplying by 21, we get ...

x = 21(6.5/3.5) = 39

Ahab can make 39 cups of tea.
