Answer: 600 beans
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the beans are in a ratio 1:1, you can write it like this: x/x. Since we know x=300, we can do this: x/x=300/?. We know x is again 300(given) so, x/x=300/300. Total is adding the 2 beans up which is 300+300=600
2x-2(-2+1)=4
Distribute the -2 to the numbers in parantheses.
2x+4-2=4
Combine all numbers
2x+2=4
Subtract 2 from both sides
2x=2
Then divide by two
x=1
