A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)
Answer:
Simplifying
9x + 7 = 5x + -3
Reorder the terms:
7 + 9x = 5x + -3
Reorder the terms:
7 + 9x = -3 + 5x
Solving
7 + 9x = -3 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
7 + 9x + -5x = -3 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x
7 + 4x = -3 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
7 + 4x = -3 + 0
7 + 4x = -3
Add '-7' to each side of the equation.
7 + -7 + 4x = -3 + -7
Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
0 + 4x = -3 + -7
4x = -3 + -7
Combine like terms: -3 + -7 = -10
4x = -10
Divide each side by '4'.
x = -2.5
Simplifying
x = -2.5

B.
<h3>step by step explanation</h3>
I hope it's help
We try to factor by maybe grouping
experiment
(x²y³-11x²y)+(6y²-66)
factor
x²y(y²-11)+6(y²-11)
undistribute (y²-11) from each
(x²y+6)(y²-11)
we can force a factor out of the 2nd group in the form of a difference of 2 perfect squares
(x²y+6)(y-√11)(y+√11)
either of those 3 are factors
5c plus 9c is 14c bc 5 plus 9 is 14 and the exponent is c so 14c
