Solve for x (isolate/get x by itself)

\frac{1}{4}x-7=\frac{3}{8}x-5    Add 5 on both sides

\frac{1}{4}x-7+5=\frac{3}{8}x-5+5

\frac{1}{4}x-2=\frac{3}{8}x   Subtract 1/4x on both sides

\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}x-2=\frac{3}{8}x-\frac{1}{4}x

-2=\frac{3}{8}x-\frac{1}{4}x   Make the denominators the same of the fractions in order to combine them. Multiply 2 to the top and bottom of 1/4x

-2=\frac{3}{8}x-\frac{2}{8}x

-2=\frac{1}{8}x    Multiply 8 on both sides

-2(8)=(8)\frac{1}{8}x

-16 = x

If a line is parallel to another line,Then the gradients are the same.So m=4 .Using general formula for str8 line, y=mx+c
y = 4x + c
sub in coorfinates (1,13)
13  = 4 + c
So C=9.
y = 4x + 9

To make a shade of lavender paint jon mixes 4 ounces of red tint and 28 ounces of blue tint into one gallon of white paint. if 2
kirill [66]
You can write this as a ratio to find the answer, but you first need to convert the gallon of white paint into ounces, which is 160 ounces. The ratio, red to blue to white, is 4:28:160, which you can simplify by dividing by 4 into 1:7:40. If 80 ounces of red tint are used, you need to multiply each value in the ratio by 80, which gives you 80:560:3200. This shows that you need 560 ounces of blue tint, which can also be written as 3.5 gallons. I hope this helps!
