Cross-multiply so that 8(3x + 1) = 14(2x)
Distribute the 8 and 14 into the parentheses:
24x + 8 = 28x
Subtract 24x from both sides:
8 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 2
Answer:
17.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of clean clothes to dirty clothes = 3 : 5
Clean clothes = 3
Dirty clothes = 5
Total ratio = 3 + 5 = 8
Total clothing article = 46
how many were clean
Number of clean clothes = ratio of clean clothes / total ratio × total clothing article
= 3/8 × 46
= 0.375 × 46
= 17.25
Answer: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
−2(x + 1/4) + 1 = 5
Subtract 2 from both sides.
−2(x + 1/4) = 4
Divide both sides by -2.
x + 1/4 = -2
Subtract 1/4 from both sides.
x = -2 1/4
x = -9/4
