In math for we have:
2x-2=x+64
which turns into:
x=66
(subtract x from right) & (add two from left)
x=11.4242....
100x=1142.4242....
100x-x = 99x = 1131
x=1131/99 = 11 42/99 (unreduced) = 11 14/33 (reduced fraction)
Step-by-step explanation:
Share 20pounds in the ratio 2:3
Total ratio=2+3=5
2/5×20=8
20-8=12
Sharing 20pounds in that ratio gives 8pounds:12pounds
Share 15cm in the ratio 1:3
Total ratio=1+4=4
¼×15=3.75
15-3.75=11.25
Sharing 15cm in that ratio gives 3.75:11.25
I think the answer is : x = -5.25
Let's break down all the information we receive from the question.
One pair of shoes= three times as much as a scarf
One pair of shoes and one scarf= $32
We need to make an equation where 3s= pair of shoes and s=scarf. We then need to put one pair of shoes + one scarf = 32.
3s+s=32
Now add.
4s=32
You could use 4s=32 (or 32÷4=s).
