4(x-2/3) = -18
4x - 8/3 = -18
4x = -54/3 + 8/3
4x = -46/3
x = -46/3 * 1/4
x = -46/12
x = -23/2
2x = -23/2 * 2
2x = -46/2
2x = -23
Here are the pictures of the steps I took when solving it as well as the answer to what X is
Answer:
2 batches of orange water = 6 tablespoon of yellow water and 2 tablespoon of red water
4 batches of orange water = 12 tablespoon of yellow water and 4 tablespoon of red water
Step-by-step explanation:
1 batch
Yellow water = 3 teaspoons
Red water = 1 teaspoons
Yellow water : Red water = 3 : 1
2 batches of orange water
Multiply the ratios by 2
Yellow water : Red water
= (3 : 1) * 2
= 6 : 2
2 batches of orange water = 6 tablespoon of yellow water and 2 tablespoon of red water
4 batches of orange water
Multiply the ratios by 4
Yellow water : Red water
= (3 : 1) * 4
= 12 : 4
4 batches of orange water = 12 tablespoon of yellow water and 4 tablespoon of red water
Answer: C) x = 2
2^{2x + 2} = 2^{3x}
Since both terms (above) have the same base, set the exponents to be equal:
2x + 2 = 3x (Rearrange to solve for x)
x = 2
∴ x = 2
19.98 rounded to the nearest whole number is 20.
In the number 19, 9 round the 1 to a 2 and the 9 becomes a 0 because of the 9 behind the decimal.
OR
You could think of a percent being 100. 98 is only 2 numbers away from 100 and thus you can round 19 up to 20.
Hope this helps! (:
