Answer:
E. the product of seven and the difference of b minus two
Step-by-step explanation:
7(b-2)
seven is being multiplied by the difference of b minus 2
So this can be written as the product of seven and the difference of b minus two.
Reasons its not the other answer choices
A. two subtracted from the quotient of seven divided by b would be (7/b) - 2
B. seven added to difference of b minus two would be 7 + (b-2)
C. the quotient of seven divided by b minus two would be 7/(b-2)
D. two subtracted from seven times b would be 7b - 2

Answer:
4:1
Step-by-step explanation:
x+20 : y+20 = 5 : 2
(x+20)/(y+20) = 5/2
2(x+20) = 5(y+20)
2x+40 = 5y+100
2x = 5y+60 (1)
x-5 : y-5 = 5:1
(x-5)/(y-5) = 5/1
x-5 = 5(y-5)
x-5 = 5y-25
x = 5y-20 (2)
Solve (1) & (2) simultaneously,
2(5y-20) = 5y+60
10y-40 = 5y+60
5y = 100
y = 20
x = 5y-20
x = 5(20)-20 = 100-20
x = 80
x:y
80:20
4:1
Answer:
