6x=18 (2x+5) x=6x+15. x-15=6x 5x=15 x=3
To get the answer we can use proportion
8 ginger ----------------- 3 fruit
12 ginger ----------------x
Crossmultiply now
8x=12*3 /:8
x=

x=<u />

To not change ratio we have to have 4.5 cups of fruilt juice. We initialy had 3, so we have to add 1.5 cup of fruit juice.
Answer:
what is the blank for
Step-by-step explanation:
sorry I mean bank
-x + -x-1 + -x-2 = -204
-3x=-201
x=-67
-67-68-69=-204
Ok, so since it doesn't give a value for "my age", we'll call it x. So the sentence translates into an equation...
200 reduced means... 200 -
by 2 times my age means... 2x
equals 16 means... = 16
200 - 2x = 16
Now let's solve for x to find "my age"
First subtract 200 from each side to begin to isolate x
-2x = -184
Divide each side by -2 to isolate x
x = -184/-2
x = 92
I'm 92 years old!
