I don’t know if it’s correct or not
Answer: The answer that I got was J.
Since the ratio is 4:9 your trying to find the sum. What I mean is that if it's 4 to 9, whats 20+9? =29. Do the same for 4. 20+4= 24. Now you find the difference in order to find how much does Byron have compared to Jonathan. So 29-24= 5
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
To turn the word problem into an equation, when we read:
"I am thinking of a number" we write "x"
"when I double my number" we write "2x"
"and then subtract the result from 5" we write "5 - 2x"
"I get negative one" we write "-1 = 5 - 2x"
Now we solve for the number, which is x.
<em>Equation: </em>-1 = 5 - 2x
-1 = 5 - 2x
subtract 5 from both sides
-6 = -2x
divide both sides by -2
3 = x

There we go! The number is </h3><h2>
