So tis is a ratio 16 is to 3 or 16:3
if use 64 tea bags then how many cups of sugar so
turn 16:3 into fraction
16:3=16/3 or 3/16, it doesn't matter
then you want to find 64:x or 64/x or x/64
we know that 16/3=64/x because it tis an equivalent ratio
so 16/3=64/x
multiply both sdies by (3 times x)
16 times x times 3/3=64 times 3 times x/x
16 times x=64 times 3
16x=192
divide both sdies by 16
x=12
theanswer is 12 cups of sugar
Given inequality -3(4-6x) < x+5.
We have -3 in front of Parenthesis.
That represents multiplication of -3 and Parenthesis.
The multiplication of Parenthesis could be done by applying distributive property.
On distributing, we get
-12+18x < x+5
x is added on right side of the inequality. The reverse operation of addition is subtraction. So we need to subtract x from both sides, we get
-12+18x-x < x-x+5
-12+17x < 5
Now, we need to get rid -12 from left side.
So, we need to apply addition property of equality, we need to add 12 on both sides, we get
-12+12+18x < x+5+12
17x < 17
We need to get rid 17 from left side. So we need to apply division property of equality.
On dividing both sides by 17, we get
17x/17 < 17/17
x<1.
The original number is 72
(18+x)/6 = 1+14
1/6x + 3 = 1 + 14 (Distribute)
1/6x + 3 = (1+14) (Combine Like Terms)
1/6x + 3 = 15
- 3 = -3 (Subtract 3 From Both Sides)
1/6x = 12
(1/6x)*6 = 12 * 6 (Multiply Both Sides By 6)
x = 72
