The correct answer is 55/4 which is equal to 13.75.
0.50x-6=4
move -6 to the other side
sign changes from -6 to 6
0.50x-6+6= 4+6
0.50x= 10
divide by 0.50 for both sides
0.50/0.50x= 10/0.50
x= 20
Answer: x= 20
A ratio is used to describe how two or more quantities are related. For example, we might say that a fruit drink calls for sugar crystals to be mixed with water in a ratio of 2:6. This means that for every 2 scoops sugar crystals, there will need to be 6 ounces of water. If there were 200 scoops of sugar crystals, there would need to be 600 ounces of water.
