As a fraction it is 357/1000.
Simplify that it is 7/20
Your answer would be r = 3.82
-2x + 8. you multiply all the terms inside the parenthesis by the one outside of/attached to them. the reason it is +8 and not -8 is because the negatives cancel out to give you a positive.
Let us say that:
a = black kittens
b = white kittens
We know that:
a = 5 b
a + b = 25
Therefore:
5 b + b = 25
6 b = 25
b = 4.17
But we cannot have a fraction value for the number of
kittens, so round off:
b = 4
So a is:
a = 25 – 4 = 21
