6x-5 = -6(x+2)

I keep getting an incorrect fraction answer please help

x = -7/12 or -0.583.. repeating.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x-5= -6(x+2)

(distributive property)

(to group like terms)

6x-5 = -6x-12

(addition poe) (add 6x on both sides to cancel -6 out)

+6x +6x

12x-5 = -12

+5 +5 (addition poe) (add 5 to both sides to cancel -5 out)

12x = -7

÷12 ÷12 (division poe) (divide both sides by 12 to get x)

x = -7/12

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
