If Jake buys 3 new shirts, how many of them would you expect to be t-shirts, and how many would you expect to be collared?

2 t-shirts ; 1 collar shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first obtain the ratio of T - shirts to collar shirts :

T - shirts = 10

Collar shirts = 5

Ratio = T - shirts / Collar shirts = 10 / 5 = 2 /1 = 2:1

Hence, using the ratio obtained ; if Jake buys 3 new shirts :

Number of T-shirts :

(Ratio of t-shirts / total ratio) * new t-shirts

2/3 * 3 = 2 t-shirts

Collar shirts :

1/3 * 3 = 1

2 t-shirts ; 1 collar shirt

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
