A carpenter needs 36 screws that are 1.5 inches long, 24 screws that are 2 inches long, and 12 screws that are 2.5 inches long. There are three different sized screws shown. The screws are marked two and a half inches, two inches, and one and a half inches.

What is the ratio of 1.5-inch screws to 2.5-inch screws, written in three different ways? Do not reduce

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
