Azul has 4 green picks and no orange picks. you add orange picks so that there are 2 orange picks for every 1 green pick. how many picks are there now?

12 total

Step-by-step explanation:

green : orange  

4               0          

We add in a ratio of

1                  2

So we need to multiply by 4

green : orange  

4*1            4*2

4                8

We have 4 green  and we need to add 8 orange  to get the right ratio

4 green + 8 orange = 12 total

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
