Multiply the coefficients to the terms in parentheses:

$-6(5x + 1) = (-6 * 5x) + (-6 * 1) = -30x - 6$

$3(2x - 4) = (3 * 2x) + (3 * -4) = 6x - 12$

$(-30x - 6) + (6x - 12)$

Combine like terms:

$-30x + 6x = -24x$

$-6 + -12 = -18$

$-24x - 18$

The answer is C. -24x - 18.

A marine aquarium has a small tank and a large tank, each containing only red and blue fish. In each tank, the ratio of red fish

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Ratio of blue fish in the small tank to the red fish in large tank is 10 : 6279

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of red fish and blue fish in the large tank are x and y respectively.

Similarly ratio of red fish and blue fish in the small tank are x' and y' respectively.

Since in each tank ratio of the red fish to blue fish is 333 : 444

That means x : y = 333 : 444

Or $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{333}{444}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{4}$

⇒ y = $\frac{4x}{3}$ --------(1)

Similarly x' : y' = 333 : 444

⇒ $\frac{x'}{y'}=\frac{333}{444}$

⇒ $\frac{x'}{y'}=\frac{3}{4}$

⇒ x' = $\frac{3y'}{4}$ ------(2)

Ratio of the fish in large tank to the fish in small tank is 464646 : 555

So (x + y) : (x' + y') = 464646 : 555

$\frac{x+y}{x'+y'}=\frac{464646}{555}$

Now we replace the values of x and y' from equation (1) and equation (2)

$\frac{(x+\frac{4x}{3})}{(\frac{3y'}{4}+y')}=\frac{464646}{555}$

$\frac{\frac{7x}{3}}{\frac{7y'}{4}}=\frac{464646}{555}$

$\frac{4}{3}\times \frac{x}{y'}=\frac{464646}{555}$

$\frac{x}{y'}=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{464646}{555}$

$\frac{x}{y'}=\frac{232323}{370}$

$\frac{y'}{x}=\frac{370}{232323}$

$\frac{y'}{x}=\frac{10}{6279}$

Therefore, ratio of blue fish in the small tank to the red fish in large tank is 10 : 6279
