The ratio of red ribbons to yellow ribbons is 17: 6 if the number of red ribbons is 2m+5 how many yellow ribbon are there?

Number of yellow ribbons is

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of yellow ribbons are R and number of yellow ribbons are Y.

Then as per statement of the question

Or

-----------(1)

Now number of red ribbons is (2m + 5)

R = (2m + 5)

Now we replace the value of R in the equation (1)

Answer is number of yellow ribbons is

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
