Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=-0.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5(2x+4)=15\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5\!\!\!\!\diagup(2x+4)}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup}=\dfrac{15\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup}\\\\2x+4=3\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\\\2x+4-4=3-4\\\\2x=-1\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}\\\\\boxed{x=-0.5}$

Sav [38]

C:t=2:3
t:h=2:1

multiply first equation by 2 and 2nd by 3
c:t=4:6
t:h=6:3
so
c:t:h=4:6:3

if t is 4 more than c
t is 6 units and c is 4
6-4=2
so 4=2 units
2=1 unit

hollly is 3 units
3*2=6
holly has 6 cards
