First do distrubutive property
-(x+4)=-8
Multiply the parenthesis by the invisible -1 in the front
: -x-4=-8
Now add 4 to both sides
-x=-4
then divide -1 by both sides
x=4 is your answer
Answer:
A = 4/5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = length x width
A = 2 2/5 x 1/3
Turn the mixed number into an improper fraction:
2 2/5 = 12/5
A = 12/5 x 1/3
A = 12/15
You can divide the top and bottom by 3:
A = 4/5
<h3>Given:</h3>
The ratio of number of girls and boys in a class of 30 students is 7:8
<h3>To Find:</h3>
The ratio of number of girls and boys if 5 new boys admit in the class.
<h3>Assumption:</h3>
Let the number of students be x.
<h3>Solution:</h3>
According to the question,
7x + 8x = 30
or, 15x = 30
or, x = 
or, x = 2
7x = 7(2) = 14
8x = 8(2) = 16
There were 14 boys and 16 girls in the school.
After admitting 5 new boys, we get
14 + 5 = <u>19</u>
The ratio of number of girls and boys now is 16:19.
