Let n be the total number of puffs. Now we can write:
Adding the fractional value of n, we get:
Simplifying and rearranging gives us:
Therefore we can simplify to get:
and finally
The fraction of the puff that are tuna is found from:
Answer:
19
----- = x
40-3a
Step-by-step explanation:
3(ax + 9) = -4 (-2 - 10x)
Distribute
3ax +27 = 8+40x
Subtract 3ax from each side
3ax-3ax +27 = 8+40x-3ax
27 = = 8+40x-3ax
Subtract 8 from each side
27-8 = 8-8+40x-3ax
19 = 40x-3ax
Factor an x on the right side
19 = x(40-3a)
Divide each side by 40-3a
19/(40-3a) = x(40-3a)/(40-3a)
19
----- = x
40-3a
The answer to this question is
You could factor it as 2(x + 3)
1) move the 10 over
So it becomes
3/4b = 10
2) multiply everything by 4 to get rid of the denominator
2b = 40
3) divide both sides by 2
b = 20
