8n-3n=n(8-3)=n(5)=5n=5 times n
5 is a factor of 5n so it is evenly divisible by 5
and since n is a natural number, it is the multiplier to make multipules of 5

murzikaleks [220]

Answer: A) x + 4x = 35; 7 large stones and 28 small stones

======================================================

Explanation:

x = number of large stones

4x = number of small stones

x+4x = total number of stones = 35

x+4x = 35 is the equation to solve

-----------

Let's isolate x

x+4x = 35

5x = 35

x = 35/5

x = 7 large stones are needed

4x = 4*7 = 28 small stones are needed

Divide 72 ft in the ratio 9:4:5

Anton [14]

9:4:5.....added together = 18

9/18 (72) = 648/18 = 36
4/18 (72) = 288/18 = 16
5/18 (72) = 360/18 = 20

so we have 36:16:20

Neal decides to sell his concert tickets to a sold- out show. He paid 90$ for the pair but believes he can sell them for 150% of

Pie

Answer:

Neal thinks that he can sell the tickets for $135.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price at which Neal bought the tickets = $90

If he expects to sell them at 150% of the original,

150% as a decimal = 150/100 = 1.5

the new resale price = 1.5* $90

= $135

Therefore, Neal thinks that he can sell the tickets for $135.
