Mathematics

Answer: x = 14/23

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-6=4(2-3x)-8x

3x-6=8-12x-8x --> Expand 4(2-3x)

3x-6=8-20x --> Collect like terms

3x-6+6=8-20x+6 --> Add 6 to both sides, to remove it from the right side

3x=-20x+14

3x+20x=-20x+14+20x --> Add 20x to both sides, to remove it from the left side

23x=14

\frac{23x}{23}=\frac{14}{23} --> Divide both sides by 23

x = 14/23

ycow [4]

Answer:  The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Number of boys added: 18 </em>
  • <em>Ratio of boys to girls: 5:4 </em>

So, the total number of boys is:

x + 18  

Number of girls = y

Number of boys / number of girls = 5/4

(x+18) /y = 5/4

Solving for "y"

4 (x +18) =5 y

4x +72 = 5y

(4x +72) /5 = y

The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5
