Let's see.
4x/5 + 4/3 = 2x
First we have to make each denominator the same, so I'll multiply 4x/5 by 3/3, 4/3 by 5/5, and 2x by 15/15
Now we have 12x/15 + 20/15 = 30x/15
With everything in the same denominator we can solve the new equation of
12x + 20 = 30x
20 = 18x
10 = 9x
X= 10/9
Answer:
16 pieces of spearmint gum
Step-by-step explanation:
For every five pieces of peppermint gum, there are 2 pieces of spearmint gum.
First, divide the total number of peppermint gum by 5:
40/5 = 8
Multiply this number by 2 (pieces of spearmint) to get the number of spearmint gum pieces:
8 x 2 = 16
Proof:
Ratio is 40 : 16, dividing this by 8 will reduce the ratio to 5:2
