Answer:
u=5.23
Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of cement and y be the amount of sand. If <span>the ratio of cement to sand for mortar is 1:3, then

and y=3x.
</span>
So, if <span>Sandy puts in x=7 shovels of cement, then she puts

shovels of sand.

Answer:
24x^2 - 12x
Step-by-step explanation:
C=4x -2
D=x + 5x
(4x - 2) * (x +5x)
4x^2 + 20x^2 - 2x - 10x
=24x^2 - 12x
Answer:
k = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
5k = 6k + 4 - 6
We can simplify this by solving 4 - 6 (replacing it with -2 !)
5k = 6k - 2
Now we can subtract 5k from both sides.
0 = k - 2
Finally, we can add 2 to both sides. This gets rid of the negative 2 on the right.
2 = k
Just reversing it...
k = 2
Answer: k = 2
