Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this exercise you need to remember the following:
→ 
Therefore, keeping the above on mind, you can solve for x as following:
Remember that, by definition: 
, then you have:
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.
Then the value of x is:
Answer:
If we want our ratio to stay the same (3 to 5), we'll need to pair a set of 3 blue tacks with every set of 5 red tacks. In a group of 50, we can make 10 groups of 5 red tacks, so we'll also need 10 groups of 3 blue tacks, which gives us a total of 30 blue tacks
89/5
Alternative form
1) 17.8
2)17 4/5
3j+2t=14 subtract 2t from both sides
3j=14-2t divide both sides by 3
j=(14-2t)/3
...
5j+6t=28, using j found above in this equation yields.
5(14-2t)/3+6t=28 perform indicated multiplication on left side
(70-10t+18t)/3=28 multiply both sides by 3
70-10t+18t=84 combine like terms on the left side
70+8t=84 subtract 70 from both sides
8t=14 divide both sides by 8
t=$1.75, and since j=(14-2t)/3
j=(14-2(1.75))/3
j=$3.50
So a pound of trail mix costs $1.75 and a pound of jelly beans costs $3.50.
