First, multiply 4*2x-4*-5= 8x-20.
Second, add 15 to 8x-20
Third, that would equal 8x-20+15=11
Fourth, 15+-20= -5
Fifth, 8x-5=11
Sixth, add +5 to -5 and +5 to 11= 8x=16
Last, do 8x/8x and 16/8x
The answer is x=2

8x-20+15=11
8x+15=11+20
8x+15=31
8x=31-15
8x=16
X=2

First, add 20 to both sides
Simplify
Subtract 15 from both sides
Simplify
Divide 8 from both sides
Simplify

An artist mixes yellow an blue paint to make the perfect shade of green. she uses 2 ounces of blue paint for every 7 ounces of y

Julli [10]

Answer:

14 ounces of blue paint

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of blue to yellow is 2:7

To solve this problem we can make a proportion:

2/7=x/49

the numerator represents the blue paint, the denominator represents the yellow paint

To solve the proportion you have to cross multiply:

2*49=7*x

x=14

She needs to add 14 oz of blue paint
