Find the value of x so that the function has the given value.
p(x) = 6x - 12; p(x) = 18

k(x) = 6x - 12

k(x) = 18

substitute:

6x - 12 = 18     |+12

6x = 30    |:6

x = 5

0.4561

Step-by-step explanation:

If a loading dock manager is unpacking a delivery truck that has 57 boxes of shoes and 26 boxes of socks, the ratio  of boxes of socks to boxes of shoes will be expressed as amount of boxes of socks : amount of boxes of shoes.

amount of boxes of socks : amount of boxes of shoes = 26:57

26:57 = 26/57

26/57 ≈ 0.4561

Hence the ratio of boxes of socks to boxes of shoes is approximately 0.4561
