2 times the sum of a number and 8 is equal to the difference of 10 and that number find the number

1 answer:

7 0

The equation would look like this
2 (x + 8) = 10 - x
First you distribute: 2x +16 = 10 - x
Next you isolate the variable by adding x to each side and subtracting 16 from each side: 3x = 10 - 16
Simplify: 3x = -6
Divide both sides by 3: x = -2

sarah, natasha and richard share some sweets in the ratio 5:2:4. sarah gets 60 sweets. how many did richard get?

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

48 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

5:2:4

Sarah: 5

Natasha:2

Richard:4

To find out how many sweets Richard got, we need to use 60 as the lcm. Since, we have a definite constant of 60 we need to divide it by the presiding ratio.

60/5 = 12

That means for a ratio of 1, everyone in the group recieves 12.

Now, we plug it in for each of the members.

5x = Sarah

2x = Natasha

4x = Richard

Sarah = 60 sweets

Natasha = 24 sweets

Richard = 48 sweets
