Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write the equation.

-12 = x - 5

2. Since 5 is negative and we want to leave <em>x</em> by itself, add 5 to both sides. Adding 5 with cancel out the -5.

-12 +5 = x -5 +5

3. When you add +5 to -12, the equation you are left with will be:

-7 = x

Hope this helps :)

The ratio of red tacks to blue tacks on the bulletin board is 3 to 5. There are 50 blue tacks. How many red tacks are there?

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

If we want our ratio to stay the same (3 to 5), we'll need to pair a set of 3 blue tacks with every set of 5 red tacks. In a group of 50, we can make 10 groups of 5 red tacks, so we'll also need 10 groups of 3 blue tacks, which gives us a total of 30 blue tacks

Answer:

3 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in a half an hour.

Let us convert our given time in minutes.

1 hour= 60 minutes.

1/2 hour= 30 minutes.

So 2 hours= 120 minutes.
