Answer:
##
Step-by-step explanation:
Just Try 84 Bro..............
First you need to distribute the -8
So you would get -8x-8 now distribute the 3 so it would be 3x-6
-8x-8+3x-6=-3+2 is how it should look
Now combine the -8x and 3x cause their like terms and also -8 and -6
-5x-14=-3x+2 now add -3 to both sides
-2x-14=2 and add 14 to both sides
-2x=12 all left to do is divide both by -2
X=-6
Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways the answer to this question can be determined
<u><em>Method 1 : the fast method </em></u>
We know that 8 is twice 4
4 x 2 = 8
The ratio of diet soda = 8
the ratio of regular sodas = 4
Diet sodas = 112
the number of regular sodas = 112 / 2 = 56
<u><em>Method 2 : The long method </em></u>
I would first determine the total number of diet and regular sodas. Let the total number be represented by d
from the question, the following equation can be derived :
(8/12) x d = 112
divide both sides of the equation by 12/8 to determine the value of d
d = 112 x (12/8) = 168
We can now derive a value for the number of regular soda
regular sodas = ( ratio of regular sodas / total soda) x total number of sodas
(4/12) x 168 = 56
