Gavyn, richard and stephen share some sweets in the ratio 2: 3: 3. gavyn gets 20 sweets. how many sweets are there altogether?

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Gavyn's share is 20 sweets representing 2 parts of the ratio.

Divide 20 by 2 to find the value of one part of the ratio

= 10 sweets ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 10 = 30

Total number of sweets = 20 + 30 + 30 = 80

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.
