Answer: x = -14/5

Step-by-step explanation: We shall begin by expanding the brackets for both sides of the equation

-2/3 (x + 2) = 1/6 (x + 6)

(-2x/3) -4/3 = (x/6) + 1

By collecting like terms we now have

(-2x/3) - (x/6) = 1 + 4/3

(-4x - x)/6 = 7/3

-5x/6 = 7/3

By cross multiplication we now have

-5x (3) = 7 (6)

-15x = 42

x = -(42/15) {simplify further by dividing the RHS by 3}

x = -14/5

Therefore x equals, minus fourteen over five (-14/5)

Answer:

32 inches: 90 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for a ratio of inches to feet. Since you want the scale to be an integer, we find the lowest number to multiply 6.4 inches by to get an integer. Since 6.4 inches = 32/5, multiply by 5, leaving 32 inches. However, since you multiplied 6.4 by 5, you have to multiply 18 by 5. 6.4*5 inches: 18*5 feet, or 32 inches: 90 feet.
