Eric and Shiloh each have a savings account. The ratio of Eric’s account balance to Shiloh’s account balance is 4:3. Together they have a total of $140 in their accounts. Use the tape diagram below to help you determine the balance of Eric’s account. [Type your answer as a number.]

Eric   80

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 4+3 = 7

140 /7 = 20

There is 20 in each block

Eric gets 4 of the blocks so 4*20 = 80

Shiloh gets 3 of the blocks 3*20 = 60

80

Step-by-step explanation:

4 : 3

4x + 3x = 140

7x = 140

x =20

4*20 = eric's amount

= 80

step-by-step explanation:

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
