Answer:

16 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of oranges to apples is 4:3 which means that for every four oranges, there are 3 apples.

Since there are 12 apples in the basket, to find the number of oranges, set up a ratio.

4/3 = x/12 (x represents the number of oranges)

Cross multiply.

48 = 3x

Divide by 3.

x = 16

There are 16 oranges in the basket.

Hope that helps.

1. (3x2 + 4x - 12) = (x + 5)<br> Divide using synthetic division
Kitty [74]
If you are solving for x then here’s how:

(3x2 + 4x - 12) = (x + 5)
Remove the x on the left by remove one x from both of the sides.
(3x2 + 3x - 12) = 5
Add 12 onto both sides
(3x2 + 3x) = 17
Multiply
(6 + 3x) = 17
Take away 6 from both sides
3x = 11
Divide by 3 on both sides
x = 3.666 recurring
