Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we have to work backwards. If you divide something by 9, and it equals 5, to figure out the number, we need to multiply by 9. 5*9= 45. If four was taken away, we have to add it to 45, which is 49. If a number *7 is 49, then we have to divide by 7 to get the answer. 49/7=7

If the ratio of purple marbles to orange marbles is 3 to 8, how many orange marbles will I have if I have 48 purple marbles?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

You will have 128 orange marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as an equation

Variable x = number of orange marbles

3/8 = 48/x

Cross multiply

3 × x = 8 × 48

3x = 384

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable

3x ÷ 3 = 384 ÷ 3

1x = 128

x = 128

128 orange marbles

Check work:

Substitute the variable x for the answer

3/8 = 48/128

Cross multiply

3 × 128 = 8 × 48

384 = 384

If the numbers equal, the answer is correct

Solve. −3/5x +1/5 > 7/20
Reika [66]
-3/5x + 1/5 > 7/20
-3/5x > 7/20 - 1/5
-3/5x > 7/20 - 4/20
-3/5x > 3/20
x < 3/20 * - 5/3
x < -15/60 reduces to -1/4
