8x + 5 = 3x + 15
8x - 3x = 15 - 5 (put same kinds of number on one side and change the signs)
5x = 10 (simplify)
5x/5 = 10/5 (simplify)
x = 2 (answer)
hope this helps
Answer:
What is the ratio of boys to girls in simplest form?
The ratio of boys : girls →4:5 so you have 4 boys and 5 girls making the whole count 4+5=9 in its simplest form. So to change the ratio proportion into fraction proportion we have: boys →49 of the whole
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
The edge lengths of a triangle are inversely proportional to 2,3 and 4.
The actual proportions of the lengths are then
12(1/2:1/3:1/4)=6:4:3
The longest side
= 39* (6/(6+4+3)
= 39*6/13
=18
2. 63 breads : 35 kg flour
is the same as
54 breads : x kg flour
Cross multiply and get
x=54*35/63=30
30 kg of flour are needed to make 54 breads.
