Pretty sure it would be 5x u less theres more to the problem
Answer:
16 pieces of spearmint gum
Step-by-step explanation:
For every five pieces of peppermint gum, there are 2 pieces of spearmint gum.
First, divide the total number of peppermint gum by 5:
40/5 = 8
Multiply this number by 2 (pieces of spearmint) to get the number of spearmint gum pieces:
8 x 2 = 16
Proof:
Ratio is 40 : 16, dividing this by 8 will reduce the ratio to 5:2
He gets 7.80 an hour so you multiply 7.8 by 5.25 hours
Use distributive property
5k - 6k -8 = 5x + 4
Combine like terms
-k - 8 = 5x + 4
add 8 to both sides
-k = 5x + 12
k = -5x- 12
2 x length + 2 x width = perimeter.
2(2s-5) + 2(4s-13) = 108
Simplify:
4s-10 + 8s-26 = 108
Combine like terms:
12s - 36 = 108
Add 36 to both sides:
12s = 144
Divide both sides by 12:
s = 144/12
s = 12
Now replace s with 12 in each equation:
2(12) - 5 = 24-5 = 19
4(12) - 13 = 48-13 = 35
The answer is d. 35,35, 19,19
