Answer:

b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

3 ( b + 5 ) = 4 ( 2b - 5 )

The first thing to do is to distribute, using the distributive property.

3 ( b + 5 ) = 4 ( 2b - 5 )

3b + 15 = 8b - 20

whichever side has the highest x value subtract or add the common numeral from.

3b + 15 = 8b - 20

+ 20 + 20

3b + 35 = 8b

then subtract or add the smaller value of x.

3b + 35 = 8b

- 3b - 3b

35 = 5b

Then we divide both sides by the number next to the variable

5b / 5

35 / 5

Now you have the final solution using those numbers

b = 7

(1) A part to whole ratio compares different parts of the group to each others is true.

(2)  the ratio 3:1 can also be written as 1 to 3 is false.

(3) A part to whole ratio can be written as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent is true.

(4) two term and three term ratios compare quantities measures in different units is false.

(1) A ratio has two parts, a numerator and a denominator.

Example: if we have 2 oranges and 3 apples in a fruit basket.

  • fruits ratio = 2:3
  • total fruits ratio = 5
  • fraction of orange = \frac{2}{5}
  • fraction of apple = \frac{3}{5}

This ratio compares a part of each fruit to the whole

Thus<em>, a part to whole ratio compares different parts of the group to each others is</em> true.

(2) The ratio 3:1 is written as \frac{3}{1} =3.

Thus, <em>the ratio 3:1 can also be written as 1 to 3 is</em> false.

(3) the ratio 2:3, has the following fractions, decimal and percentage with respect to whole ratio;

  • <em>fraction</em> of 2 = \frac{2}{5}, <em>decimal</em> = 0.4, <em>percentage</em> = 40%
  • <em>fraction</em> of 3 = \frac{3}{5}, <em>decimal</em> = 0.6, <em>percentage</em> = 60%

Thus,  <em>a part to whole ratio can be written as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent is</em> true.

(4) the units of the quantities compared have to be the same in order to find their ratios.

Thus, <em>two term and three term ratios compare quantities measures in different units is</em> false.

If the area rectangle below us 39 square feet find the x value
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

x=5 and x=-11

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-2)(x+8)=39

x^2+6x-16=39

Subtract 39 from both sides

x^2+6x-55=0

Factor:

(x-5)(x+11)=0

Set factors to 0.

x-5 =0

x+11 =0

x=5, x=-11

!!HELP ME PLS!!
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

127 1/2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A model lighthouse uses a scale of 1/4 inch = 5 feet.

This means that 1/4 inch on the model represents 5 feet in actual life.

The height of the model lighthouse is  6 3/8 inches i.e. 51/8 inches.

The height of the actual lighthouse is:

1/4 inch = 5 feet

51/8 inches = x

Cross-multiply:

51/8 * 5 = 1/4 * x

=> x = 51/8 * 4 * 5

x = 127 1/2 feet

The height of the actual lighthouse is 127 1/2 feet.
