Remember, you can do ANYTHING to an equaiton as long as you do it to BOTH SIDES
we can try to get k by itself bymaking that -17 into 0 since k+0=k
-17+17=0 right so
K-17=-12
add 17 to BOTH SIDES
K+17-17=17-12
K+0=5
K=5
3 drops : 4 pints = x drops : 16 pints
3drops/4pints = x/16pints
(3drops/4pints)*16pints = x
*cancel pints unit*
(3drops/4)*16 = x
(16*3)drops/4 = x
48 drops / 4 = x
12 drops = x (ANSWER)
The correct answer should be choice A
In lowest terms 35 to 56 would be written as
