Answer:

84 people wear blue jeans.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the same out of questions that are multiples of each other, except we have to use decimals. 350/150 is 7/3, so we know in order to get 350 with 150, we need to multiply 7/3. Now, we multiply 36 by 7/3 to get 84 as our answer

1. Solve proportion 12/15 = 18/b

omeli [17]

We solve the as follows:

1. Solve proportion 12/15 = 18/b
( 12/15 = 18/b ) b
( 12b/15 = 18 ) 15/12
b = 18(15/12)
b = 45/2

2. Solve equations

A. -x + 4 = x +6
-x + 4 - x = x +6 - x
-2x + 4 - 4 = 6 - 4
-2x = 2
x = -1

B. 5n + 7 =7(n+1) -2n
5n + 7 = 7n + 7 - 2n
5n -7n + 2n = 7 - 7
0 = 0

C. -4(p+2) + 8 = 2(p-1) - 7p + 15
-4p - 8 + 8 = 2p - 2 - 7p + 15
-4p + 7p - 2p = -2 + 15 + 8 - 8
p =13

3. Solve a/b x - c = 0 for x
a/b x - c = 0
( a/b x = c ) b/a
x = bc / a
