We have

$7x+5=-9$ .

1. Subtract 5 from both sides to get

$7x=-9-5\Longrightarrow 7x=-14$ .

2. Divide both sides by 7 to get

$x=\dfrac{-14}{7}=\boxed{-2}$

Hope this helps.

The ratio of North American butterflies to South American butterflies at a butterfly park is 5:3. The ratio of South American bu

Natalija [7]

Answer: There are 12 European butterflies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "s" the number of South American butterflies at the butterfly park.

Since the ratio of North American butterflies to South American butterflies at a butterfly park is 5:3 and the number of North American butterflies at the butterfly park is 30, you can write the folllowing proportion:

$\frac{5}{3}=\frac{30}{s}$

Solving for "s", you get:

$(s)(\frac{5}{3})=30\\\\s=(30)(\frac{3}{5})\\\\s=18$

Let be "e" the number of European butterflies at the butterfly park.

Knowing that the ratio of South American butterflies to European butterflies at the butterfly park is 3:2, and since there are 18 South American butterflies, you can write the following proportion:

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{18}{e}$
