Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y =
( multiply both sides by x - 5
y(x - 5) = 4 - 3x ( distribute left side )
xy - 5y = 4 - 3x ( add 3x to both sides )
xy + 3x - 5y = 4 ( add 5y to both sides )
xy + 3x = 4 + 5y ← factor out x from each term on the left side
x(y + 3) = 4 + 5y ← divide both sides by y + 3
x = 
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
this ratio of (1/8) to (1/4) can be written as a fraction
however, since we want to find out how much salt is needed for one teaspoon of baking soda, salt is the numerator (top) of the fraction and baking soda is the denominator (bottom) of the fraction
(1/8)/(1/4)
(1/8)x(4/1) when you divide fractions the second fraction switches the top and bottom
(1/8)x4
4/8
1/2
1/2 or 0.5 teaspoons of salt are needed per teaspoon of baking soda
1.6m-4.8=-1.6m
Subtract 1.6m to both sides to get
-4.8=-3.2m
Divide both sides by -3.2to get
1.5=x
