16+5x =8x-5
Reorder the terms
16+5x = -5+8x
Solving for variable for x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add -8x to each side of the equation.
16+ -3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 5x + -8x=-3x
16+-3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
16+-3x = -5 + 0
16+ -3x = -5
Add -16 to each side of the equation
16+-16 + -3x = -5 + 16
Combine like terms: 16+ -16 = 0
0 + -3x =-5 + -16
-3x = -5 + -16
combine like terms: -5 + -16 = -21
-3x = -21
Divide each side by -3
x=7
Answer:
12 is missing
Step-by-step explanation:
Puppies : Adults = 1 : 4
Total parts = 1 + 4 = 5
5 parts = 100 dogs
1 part = 100 ÷ 5 = 20 dogs
Answer: 20 puppies
1/2 of 20 is 20/2 which is 10.
All you really need to do here is to divide 20 by 2 to get 10.
