x is some whole number so 3x represents the number of apples, 5x is the number of oranges and 6x is the number of ponkans. The numbers 3x, 5x and 6x are also whole numbers as well. They add up to 256 total pieces of fruit. Solve the equation below for x
3x+5x+6x = 256
14x = 256
14x/14 = 256/14
x = 18.29
since x is not a whole number, there is something wrong with the initial problem. Please double check to make sure there isn't a typo.
you put in -6 for m and -2 for n
the 2/2 =1 but one is negative so it's -1
negative times a negative is a positive
Answer:
3.66666...
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 324 trees
Explanation: (cross multiply and divide)
In a fraction put x over 450 then next to it put 72 over 100 hundred
Cross multiply
72x450=32,400
100x= 32,400 (Divide each side of equation by 100)
X= 324
-OR- Just multiply 450 by .72
Either way you get the same answer. Hope this helped:)
