Croatia won 10 medals at the 2016 Summer Olympics. 5 were Gold, 3 were Silver and the rest were Bronze. What's the ratio of Gold:Bronze?

5:2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find how many bronze medals were won.

We know they earned a total of 10, and the gold, silver and bronze medals added must equal 10.

gold+silver+bronze=10

We also know they won 5 gold and 3 silver

5+3+bronze=10

8+bronze=10

Subtract 8 from both sides

bronze=2

So, Croatia won 5 gold, 3 silver, 2 bronze

The ratio of gold:bronze

We know they won 5 gold and 2 bronze, so plug those into the ratio

gold: bronze

5:2

eww xbox also eww dayz

step-by-step explanation:

just for that im not answering

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
