(13 + x)/(50 - x ) = (2/1)
Cross Multiply
2(50-x) = 1(13 + x)
100 - 2x = 13 + x
add 2x to both sides
100 -2x + 2x = 13 + x + 2x
100 = 13 + 3x
Subtract 13 from both sides
100 - 13 = 13 - 13 + 3x
87 = 3x
divide both sides by 3
29 = x
(13 + 29)/(50-29) = 42/21 = 2 to 1 ratio
Are you are saying that the absolute value of negative six times x equals 54? If you are, then the answer is x equals positive or negative 9. To solve, set up two equations, because it is an absolute value question. In the first equation, write -6x=54. Divide by -6 to get -9. That is just one of two answers. In the second equation, write 6x=54. Divide 54 by 6 to get positive 9. Your answer is positive and negative 9.
<span>3(2v + 1)= -15(5v + 16)
6v + 3 = -75v - 240 (Add 75v onto each side)
+75v +75v
81v + 3 = 240 (Subtract 3 on each side)
-3 -3
81v = -243
v = -3

Answer:
none of them (-9 - 4 would work if it were an option)
Step-by-step explanation:
-9 + (-4) = -13
