You could subtract 5/4 from each side of the equation.
Then it would say
x = -2/4 .
That's a perfectly true solution, but not a very attractive one.
To pretty it up, you could simplify the fraction if you felt like it,
and you would have
x = -1/2 .
The answer is k=8 (4,6/8,7/12,8)
Answer:
Brody purchased 16 songs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of the number of songs purchased by Brody(B) and Jayliah(J) = 2 : 3
------(1)
Similarly ratio of the songs purchased by Jayliah(J) and Sadie(S) = 4 : 5
-------(2)
If Sadie bought the songs (S) = 30
From equation (2),

J = 
J = 24
By substituting the value J = 24 in equation (1),

B = 
B = 16
Therefore, number of songs purchased by Brody = 16.
