Answer:
-15/8=x

Explanation:
-2(5x+8)=14+6x

1) Distribute -2 into the parentheses
-10x-16=14+6x

2) Combine like terms
Move -10x to the other side
-16=14+6x+10x
Move 14 to the other side
-16-14=6x+10x
-30=16x

3) Divide both sides by 16
-30/16=x

4) Simplify the fraction
-15/8=x

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions.

You were testing orange juice recipes it’s recipe calls for orange juice concentrate and water mix one has 4 cups of concentrate

Sav [38]

Answer:

First mixed is the most orangey.

Step-by-step explanation:

First:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=4\ cups\\\\Water=6\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=4+6=10\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{4}{10}\times 100=40\%$

Second:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=1\ cups\\\\Water=3\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=1+3=4\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{1}{4}\times 100=25\%$

Third:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=2\ cups\\\\Water=4\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=2+4=6\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{2}{6}\times 100=33.33\%$

First mixed has highest percentage of orange juice. Hence first mixed is the most orangey.
