<span>The answer is that x = 21/9.
Start with the original: 4(2x - 1) - 7 = 4 - x + 6
Now distribute the 4:</span> <span> 8x - 4 - 7 = 4 - x + 6.
Now combine the like terms. 8x - 11 = -x + 10.
Now add x to both sides. 9x - 11 = 10.
Now add 11 to both sides. 9x = 21.
And divide by 9 on both side. x = 21/9. </span>
Answer: Choice A
The fractions are not equivalent because the product of the numerator of the first fraction and the denominator of the second fraction is <u> 15 </u> , which is not equal to the product of the numerator of the second fraction and the denominator of the first fraction <u> 16 </u>

Explanation:
We have the template
which cross multiplies to 
So if
was true, then
must be true as well, and vice versa.
The left side 3*5 turns into 15, while the right hand side 4*4 becomes 16. The 15 and 16 don't match up.
In short,
turns into
which is a false statement. So the original claim that
is also false.
C would produce the value of joe
Here are the steps: pt= pine treed mt= maple trees t=trees
2 pt + 3 mt = 5 t
So 300 trees divided by 5 trees gives you 60
300 trees / 5 trees = 300 / 5 = 60
To find the amount of pine trees multiply 60 by 2 which is 120
To find the amount of maple trees multiply 3 by 60 to get 180
So the answer to your question is 120 pt and 180 mt
