The rachos were sold are 6
because ratio of them at the begining = 3/4
after selling some popcorns, ratio of them still 3/4
they sold 8 popcorns mean 3/4 = ?rachos / 8popcorns sold
the rachos sold = 3*8/4 = 6
B - Negotiating.
This is because they are communicating, they haven't yet agreed to anything or committed to the contract as neither parties have signed, thus leading to both C and D to be incorrect.
A, however, is not exactly a term used for this situation - contracting is more of a term used to say someone contracted a disease or the flu or etc.
Therefore, B would be correct as they are indeed negotiating the terms of the contract.
Hope this helps!
Simplifying
5x + 2(8x + -9) = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
Reorder the terms:
5x + 2(-9 + 8x) = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
5x + (-9 * 2 + 8x * 2) = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
5x + (-18 + 16x) = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
Reorder the terms:
-18 + 5x + 16x = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
Combine like terms: 5x + 16x = 21x
-18 + 21x = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
Reorder the terms:
-18 + 21x = 3(4 + x) + -5(2x + 7)
-18 + 21x = (4 * 3 + x * 3) + -5(2x + 7)
-18 + 21x = (12 + 3x) + -5(2x + 7)
Reorder the terms:
-18 + 21x = 12 + 3x + -5(7 + 2x)
-18 + 21x = 12 + 3x + (7 * -5 + 2x * -5)
-18 + 21x = 12 + 3x + (-35 + -10x)
Reorder the terms:
-18 + 21x = 12 + -35 + 3x + -10x
Combine like terms: 12 + -35 = -23
-18 + 21x = -23 + 3x + -10x
Combine like terms: 3x + -10x = -7x
-18 + 21x = -23 + -7x
Solving
-18 + 21x = -23 + -7x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '7x' to each side of the equation.
-18 + 21x + 7x = -23 + -7x + 7x
Combine like terms: 21x + 7x = 28x
-18 + 28x = -23 + -7x + 7x
Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0
-18 + 28x = -23 + 0
-18 + 28x = -23
Add '18' to each side of the equation.
-18 + 18 + 28x = -23 + 18
Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0
0 + 28x = -23 + 18
28x = -23 + 18
Combine like terms: -23 + 18 = -5
28x = -5
Divide each side by '28'.
x = -0.1785714286
Simplifying
x = -0.1785714286
You are adding 9/3 each time
so 2/3, 11/3, 20/3, 29/3, 38/3, 47/3
