The correct answer is that she picked 16 green peppers. We can work this out because 16 + 4 = 20, and 4 x 4 is 16, so therefore there were 16 green peppers and 4 red peppers.

Let x be the red peppers

and y be the green peppers

Meredith picked four times as many green peppers as red peppers

So green peppers = 4 times red peppers

The equation becomes y = 4x

she picked a total of 20 peppers. So x + y = 20

Now we plug in 4x for y

x + 4x = 20

5x = 20 ( divide by 5 on both sides)

x = 4

Number of red peppers = 4

We know , y = 4x = 4(4) = 16

So number green peppers = 16

She picked 16 green peppers

The numerator and the denominator of a fraction are thirteen and fifty, respectively. When a certain number is added to this num
Talja [164]
(13 + x)/(50 - x ) = (2/1)
Cross Multiply
2(50-x) = 1(13 + x)
100 - 2x = 13 + x
add 2x to both sides
100 -2x + 2x = 13 + x + 2x
100 = 13 + 3x
Subtract 13 from both sides
100 - 13 = 13 - 13 + 3x
87 = 3x
divide both sides by 3
29 = x

(13 + 29)/(50-29) = 42/21 = 2 to 1 ratio
