Answer:

12 blueberries and 4 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

We can try the guess method.

3:1      3 + 1 = 4     4 is too low. We need a sum of 16.

Multiply both numbers in the ratio by 2.

6:2     6 + 2 = 8   8 is still too low

Multiply both numbers in the ratio by 4.

12:4    12 + 4 = 16    16 is correct.

Answer: 12 blueberries and 4 strawberries

Answer:

D.) 12

Step-by-step explanation:

16x - 3(4x + 5) = 2x + 9

16x - 12x - 15 = 2x + 9

4x - 2x = 15 + 9

2x = 24

2x/2 = 24/2

x = 12

Check:

16x - 3(4x + 5) = 2x + 9

16(12) - 3(4(12) + 5) = 2(12) + 9

192 - 3(48 + 5) = 2(12) + 9

192 - 3(53) = 24 + 9

192 - 159 = 33

33 = 33

What does a 3 in front of a square root mean?
zlopas [31]
The 3 goes with the square root you don’t need to multiply or anything like that. If you need to simply for example 3 square root of 20 which is when 3 is outside the square root sign. The 20 will be separated with 4*5 in the square root and then you will square root the 4 leaving the 5 in and bringing 2 out. Now you can’t just bring it out and forget about the 3 outside you need to multiply that 2 and 3 and you get 6! So you final answer is 6 square root 5. Hope this helps reply if you have a question!
