Total actors = 28
8 actors are men so the number of women who are actresses will be
Total actors - male actors
Female actors = 28 - 8 = 20
The ratio of men to women = 8 : 20
To simplify, decrease ratio to its simplest form. The lowest common factor of both numbers is 2. Divide both sides by 2 until it can be divided no more
8 : 20 = 4 : 10 = 2 : 5
The ratio of men to women in simplified rational form is 2 : 5

Free points, please solve -2m+36=2(6m-3)?

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{m=3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2m+36=2(6m-3)$

Expanding brackets.

$-2m+36=12m-6$

Adding 2m and 6 to both sides.

$36+6=12m+2m$

Combining like terms.

$42=14m$

Dividing both sides by 14.

$3=m$

I hope this helps you 25+10 (12-x)=5 (2x-7) 25+10.12-10x=5.2x-5.7 25+120-10x=10x-35 145-10x=10x-35 145+35=10x+10x 180=20x x=9
