2.5x - 3 + 2x = 1.75x - 1.25x + 13
4.5x - 3 = 0.50x + 13
4.0x = 16
x = 4
Answer: 4
2. We'll assume those xs are in the numerator
(3/7)x - 1/4 + (3/7)x = (9/7)x - (3/7)x + 3/4 - 1
(6/7)x - 1/4 = (6/7)x - 1/4
0 = 0
That's always true.
Answer: Any x is a solution.

Answer:
2 1/2 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
A proportion says the ratio of one thing to another is the same for different amounts. Here, we want cups, so we can use the proportion ...
cups/people = 2/12 = x/15 . . . . . where x is the number we want to find
Multiplying by 15 gives ...
x = 15(2/12) = 5/2 = 2 1/2
You will need 2 1/2 cups of zucchini to feed 15 people with the same recipe.
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
So the denominator can be simplified to 5⁴ →
and then the 3's cancel out and we are left with 5⁴
Now our new fraction is
which then simplifies to 25
So,
The probability of drawing a yellow marble is

.
Since he replaces the marble after it is drawn out, the probability of drawing another yellow is the same:

.
The probability of drawing a red marble is

.
In order to get the probability of drawing 2 yellow marbles and 1 red marble, given that each marble is replaced after it is drawn out, we must multiply the fractions together.

Because the order of the marbles doesn't matter, we will multiply the probability by 3.
