X = 20
If you multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction ( x - 60 = -40 ) the answer would become clear.
Answer:
20/25
Step-by-step explanation:
divide the denominators
25/5=5
multiply the numerator
4*5=20
b is two fifths of c, so we make this a ratio with c = 1.
The ratio of b:c is 2/5 : 1
We also have 4a = 3c, rewrite this ratio so c is 1 by dividing both sides by 4,
so we get the ratio of a to c as 3/4 : 1
Now we get the a:b:c ratio of 3/4 : 2/5 : 1 now we can change the fractions to whole numbers, first by multiplying the 3 numbers by 4 to get get rid of the denominator of 4 in a:
3 : 8/5 : 4
Now multiply the 3 numbers by 5 to remove the denominator of 5 in b:
15 : 8 : 20
Now we can check using the equations:
b is 2/5 of c: 20 x 2/5 = 40/5 = 8 This is true.
4a = 3c: 4(15) = 3(20) = 60 = 60, this is also true.
The ratios is 15 : 8: 20
I think the answer might be B
Answer:
x=-3/11
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+3)/5 +2x=0
Multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction
5*( x+3)/5 +5*2x=0*5
x+3 + 10x =0
Combine like terms
11x +3 = 0
Subtract 3 from both sides
11x+3-3 =0-3
11x = -3
Divide by 11
11x/11 = -3/11
x = -3/11
