NO is 2 times LM
2(x+1) = 4x
2x + 2 = 4x
2 = 2x
1 = x
Plug that in for 4x
4(1)
4
A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)
Answer:
7, x, 5, and x
Step-by-step explanation:
factors are numbers or variables being multiplied by something else. 12 and 23 arent being multiplied by anything
22% = 22/100
22/100 * 14.50 = 3.19 (this is the amount discounted off original price)
14.50 - 3.19 = $11.31
If you multiply or divide by a positive number the inequality sign DOES NOT CHANGE!
If you multiply or divide by a negative number the inequality sign flips around and becomes the opposite.
