The total length of the rope = 32 ft
It is cut into two sections, say x and y
But one section is seven times the other, say y=7x (shorter section being x)
Solving for x
x+y =32
x+7x = 32
8x=32
x=32/8 = 4 ft.
Therefore, the shorter piece is 4 ft long.
Answer:
The answer is y=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the constant to the right side and change its sign
3y=12+6
Add the numbers
12 +6
3y=18
Divide both sides of the equation by 3
Which equals
Y=6
Hope that helps
Y - (-5) = -7
---------------------------
Simplify
y + 5 = -7
-------------------------------------
Subtract 5 from each side
y + 5 - 5 = -7 - 5
y = -12
--------------------------------------------
y = -12 is your answer
Answer:
2 batches of orange water = 6 tablespoon of yellow water and 2 tablespoon of red water
4 batches of orange water = 12 tablespoon of yellow water and 4 tablespoon of red water
Step-by-step explanation:
1 batch
Yellow water = 3 teaspoons
Red water = 1 teaspoons
Yellow water : Red water = 3 : 1
2 batches of orange water
Multiply the ratios by 2
Yellow water : Red water
= (3 : 1) * 2
= 6 : 2
2 batches of orange water = 6 tablespoon of yellow water and 2 tablespoon of red water
4 batches of orange water
Multiply the ratios by 4
Yellow water : Red water
= (3 : 1) * 4
= 12 : 4
4 batches of orange water = 12 tablespoon of yellow water and 4 tablespoon of red water
