Answer:
what exactly am i solving for ?
Step-by-step explanation:
175 red squares out of 1000 squares = 175/1000 = 0.175 of the design is red.
First you make -1 and 3/4 have a common denominator. 1 has a fraction of 1/1 so times four it is 4/4. Then you add on both sides in order to isolate x and you get 3/10x = 7/4.
Then you isolate x by multyiplying the reciprocal of 3/10 on both sides, 10/3.
3/10 and 10/3 cancel out and you get an answer of x = 70/4.
You could then simplify it to get 35/6 by finding a greasted common multiple of 12 and 70 which is 2 and dividing both by 2 to get a simpilier answer.
So the answer is x = 35/6
