Start with the solution
x=-25
use the reverse of what they asked
they wanted division and addition
we use multiplication and subtract
ok
x=-25
we can use subtraction and multiplication in any order
minus 10 from both sides
x-10=-35
multiply both sides by 4
4(x-10)=-140
4x-40=-140 is a possible equation
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 9 and 12 using factor trees. The GCF is 3
Divide each term (9 and 12) over 3
9/3 = 3
12/3 = 4
So 9/12 reduces to 3/4
In other words, 9/12 = 3/4
--------------------------------------
Now focusing on 3/4, we can multiply top and bottom by the same value. Let's say we multiply top and bottom by 5
3*5 = 15
4*5 = 20
So 3/4 = 15/20
--------------------------------------
So two ratios equivalent to 9/12 are 3/4 and 15/20. There are infinitely other ratios that are equivalent.
In short, the answers are 3/4 and 15/20.
X =-1/3, X=1/3 is wrong sorry
To find the number of boxes divide the total kids by number of pencils in each box. Here 105/12 leaves remainder. It means still kids are left over. So add 1 to the quotient
105/12= 8 and remainder is 9.
So add 1 to the quotient 8 which is 9
Total pencil boxes = 9
150 degrees because supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees
