I would think that it would be the 3:8 one because if you do the math, 8-3 is 5 and 12-5 is 7. The only reason Im doing it this way is because its the only way I can set it up.
so you have more of a difference with the 12:5 one and less of a difference with the 3:8.
I hope I helped a bit
Answer:
y=4/5+3 and 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
NO is 2 times LM
2(x+1) = 4x
2x + 2 = 4x
2 = 2x
1 = x
Plug that in for 4x
4(1)
4

1.65 + 0.85x= $20
0.85x=$18.35
x=21 10/17
first you write the equation
then you have to subtract 1.65 from the equation but you also have to subtract it from 20
then you divide 0.85 from 0.85x and from the 18.35 left over from subtracting 1.65 from 20
then you should get x=21 10/17 (simplified) but the decimal form is a ongoing fraction so you can just round it up to the nearest hundredth
