Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, what you will want to do is plug in your y into the first equation, to find the x.

y = x - 5 ----> 7 = x - 5

Next, think about your possible solutions here.... Flip the equation:

5 + 7 = ? ---> 5 + 7 = 12

Now, plug both your x and y in the original equation:

7 = 12 - 5 Does this match?

7 = 7 Yes!

This is the simplest way I can explain it! I hope it is understandable, correct, and helpful. Have a great day :D

A magic carpet is made with three different colors of yarn. The ratio of each color is shown below. 10 parts gold yarn, 7 parts

serious [3.7K]

Answer: 22.5 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 20 parts yarn. This means that 3/20 of the carpet is silver. So in order to compare this to the 150 meters of total yarn, you would set up this equation:

3/20 = x/150

Next, you cross multiply:

3*150 = 20*x or simplified would be 450 = 20x

Next, you divide both sides by 20 to get x by itself.

450/20 = 22.5, so x is equal to 22.5

This means you have 22.5 yards of silver in the carpet.

A protein mix claims to contain a bonus of 20% more mix than the usual size container. If the bonus size contains 18 ounces of m

agasfer [191]

Answer:

The usual size of the container is 15 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A protein mix claims to contain a bonus of 20% more mix than the usual size container.

Let the usual size of the container was x ounces.

They increase 20% of usual size and the bonus size is 18 ounces.

Therefore, the new size should be:

$x+20\%x=18$

$x(1+0.20)=18$ (∴20%= $\frac{20}{100}$ =0.20)

$x(1.20)=18$

$x=\frac{18}{1.20}$

$x=15$

Hence, the usual size of the container is 15 ounces.
