#27.
First cross multiply
2 (2a-3) = 3 (a-1)
next use the distribute property on both sides
4a - 6 = 3a - 3
combine like terms, subtract 3a from both sides and add 6 to both sides
a = 3
#28
cross multiply
3x = 4, then divide both sides by 3
x = 4/3
#30
add 1/4 to both sides
3/x = 1/2 + 1/4, find a common denominator for the right side fractions
3/x = 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
therefore, x = 4
Answer:
Let the additional weight that can be added be = x
Current weight of the bag = 38 pounds
Total weight can be = 50 pounds
The equation becomes:
38+x < or equal 50
x < or equal 50-38=12
Hence, a weight of 12 pounds cab be added to the current wight.
