Okay so combine like terms
10x-4x= 6x
2-8= -6
6x=-6
x= -1
Now to check:
10(-1)-2=4(-1)-8
-10-2=-4-8
-12=-12
The number of bananas required to make the third scale balance is 3.
<h3>What is a scale?</h3>
A scale is a tool used for weighting objects. If the objects on each side weigh the same the scale is balanced. Based on this, let's determine the possible weight of each fruit to balance the last scale.
- Scale 1 (10 bananas/ 2 pineapples)
It is known 10 bananas weigh as much as 2 apples, but to solve this problem let's assume 10 bananas weigh a total of 1000 grams.
- 10 banans = 1000 grams = each banana weighs 100 grams
- 2 pineapples = 1000 grams = each pineapple weighs 500 grams
Scale 2 ( 1 pineapple / 2 bananas, 1 apple)
Using the same imaginary weights let's find the weight of the apple.
- 1 pineapple = 500 grams
- 2 bananas = 200 grams
- 1 apple = 300 grams (500 - 200 = 300)
Scale 3 (1 apple /x )
We know 1 apple is equal to 300 grams and 1 banana is equal to 100 grams. Based on this, the number of bananas to balance the scale is 3.

Answer:
B.) 10 to 5 and D.) 8 to 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are trying to make the lemon taste stronger, there would need to be more lemons than water. The ratio would need to have a larger difference than 7:4. The difference is 3.
Choice A has a difference of 2. Two is less than 3 so this would taste more watery than lemony. Choice C has a difference of 3. Because we want a <em>stronger</em> lemon taste, this won't work. It would taste the same.
Choice B has a difference of 5. This is greater than 3 so the lemon taste will be stronger. Choice D has a difference of 4, this is also greater than 3 and will also make the taste of lemon stronger.
