Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

X will refer to the number.

X+57( the number added to the original.)=4x. (x time 4)

X+57=4x.

Subtract x from both sides to get the variable on one side.

(X+57)-x =(4x)-x

57=3x. You would then divide by 3 on both sides to again get integer isolated.

57/3=3/3x.

57/3=19. 3/3=1.

19=x.

$\text {x - coordinate = } \bigg( 5\dfrac{1}{2} + 3\dfrac{3}{4} \bigg) \div 2$

$\text {x - coordinate = } \bigg( 5\dfrac{2}{4} + 3\dfrac{3}{4} \bigg) \div 2$

$\text {x - coordinate = } 8\dfrac{5}{4} \div 2$

$\text {x - coordinate = }\dfrac{37}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\text {x - coordinate = }\dfrac{37}{8}$

$\text {x - coordinate = } 4\dfrac{5}{8}$

$\text {y - coordinate = } \bigg( -4\dfrac{1}{4} - 1\dfrac{1}{4} \bigg) \div 2$

$\text {y - coordinate = } -5\dfrac{2}{4} \div 2$

$\text {y - coordinate = } -\dfrac{22}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\text {y - coordinate = } -\dfrac{11}{4}}$

$\text {y - coordinate = } -2\dfrac{3}{4}}$

$\text {The coordinate is }\bigg( 4\dfrac{5}{8}, -2\dfrac{3}{4}} \bigg)$

A recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of sugar for every 7 tablespoons of flour. If you plan on tripling the recipe what is the ratio

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

you basically have to times it by 3 so

2:7

4:14

6:21

the answer would be 6 tablespoons of sugar to 21 tablespoons of flour
