Answer:
3.25=x
Step-by-step explanation:
start with -5=4x+8
subtract 8 from each side to get:
-13=4x
divide each side by 4 to get your answer:
-3.25=x-
The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24
