The answer is 4. You take 2 and divide it by 0.5.
Answer:
3 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
on the left side there is 3 circles and every circle is 3 grams, so there is 9 grams plus 6 squares for 2 grams its 12 . 9+12 =21 and two triangles with x mass
on the right side there is 2 circles , 2×3 = 6, and 3 squares, 3×2 = 6. 6+6=12 +5x
both sides are equal so we have
21+2x=12+5x
21-12=5x-2x
9=3x
x=3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Change 2/5 to a decimal
2/5 = 0.4
Change 1 2/15 of a fluid ounce to a decimal.
1.133333
Set up your proportion.
0.4 / 1.133333 = x / 5 Cross multiply
0.4*5 = 1.133333*x
2 = 1.133333 x Divide by 1.1333333
2/1.33333 = x
x = 1.5 ounces.
He needs 1.5 ounces of red to make 5 ounces of purple.
(2/5)+(3/(5x))=(x+5)/10
nasty fractions, we hates it forever
so
get rid of all those nasty fractions
multiply both sides by 10x
4x+6=x(x+5)
distribute
4x+6=x^2+5x
minus (4x+6) from both sides
0=x^2+x-6
factor
0=(x-2)(x+3)
set each to zero
0=x-2
2=x
0=x+3
-3=x
x=-3 and 2
