Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Delaney has 36  books and 24 movies currently

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Delaney has 4 times as many books as she has movies.

she buys 15 more movies

Ratio of   movies to books =  2:3

To Find:

The number of  books and movies she is having currently = ?

Solution:

Let the number of movies be x

Then the number of books is 4x

After she buys 15 books, the number of books will be

x+15

Now the ratio of movies to books is 2 : 3

(2)/(3) = (x+15)/(4x)

On solving

3 *(x+15) = 2 * 4x

3x+45 =8x

45 =8x-3x

45 =5x

x =(45)/(5)

x = 9

The number of book is

=> 4 * x

=> 4 * 9

=> 36

The number of movies is

=>x + 15

=>9+15

=> 24

If a rectangle has a length of x + 2, a width of 7, and a perimeter of 32.what is the vaule of X

explain how u got the answer

you need to write the Eqation like so: 2(X + 2 + 7) = 32 then divide 32 by 2 = 16 then all you have left is X + 2 + 7 = 16 then add 2 and 7 together which wili give you this X + 9 = 16 then you subtract 9 from 16 which leaves X alone. And the answer would be 7
