Simplify brackets
2/5(x - 4) = 2x
Simplify 2/5(x - 4) to 2(x - 4)/5
2(x - 4)/5 = 2x
Multiply both sides by 5
2(x - 4) = 10x
Divide both sides by 2
x - 4 = 5x
Subtract x from both sides
-4 = 5x - x
Simplify 5x - x to 4x
-4 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4
-1 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -1</u>
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the 2nd term by the 1st to find the common ratio or n.
The 15% tip would be 50*0.15=$7.5
28+24=52
So we make a sum of what's going to equal 52 in small packets.
I found 4x13=52. 13 would be the number of packets......
BUT!! Since it MUST be equal dark and milk and we have 28 and 26,
you would have to eliminate 1 pack because all 4 would be milk chocolate.
So that is only 12 packets.
4 per pack so that would be 2 dark and 2 milk per packet.
