Every musician in the band plays either the flute or the drum (but not both). The ratio of flutists to drummers is 7 : 1. If 2 drummers join the group and 6 flutists quit, the ratio of flutists to drummers would be 3 : 1. How many musicians were in the original ensemble? 4. A sloth is swimming in the Charles River at 20 feet per minute. How fast is the sloth swimming in smoots per hour? One smoot is equal to 5 feet, 7 inches. Write your final answer as a simplified fraction.

Number of drummers in original ensemble  

Number of flutists in original ensemble

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of flutists to drummers is

Let number of flutists and drummers be and .

As 2 drummers join the group and 6 flutists quit,

Number of drummers =

Number of flutists =

New ratio of flutists to drummers =

So,

So,

Number of drummers in original ensemble  

Number of flutists in original ensemble

answer: answer

step-by-step explanation:

option 3 . (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

step-by-step explanation:

option 1 :

(4x + 3) + (-9x + 4)

or 4x+3 -9x + 4

or -5x + 7

option 2

(x - 2) - (6x - 9)

or x-2-6x + 9

or -5x + 7

option 3

(5x+ + 6)

or 5x + 1 + 10x -6

or 15x -5

option 4

-4x+2x+7-3x

-7x + 2x + 7

-5x + 7

hence only option 3 did   not satisfy the given simplify expression.
