Answer: The solution is (3, -2)
This means that x = 3 and y = -2 pair up together.
=====================================================
Explanation:
The solution is where the two lines cross. Note if we started at the origin (0,0) and moved to the right 3 units, and then down 2 units, we would arrive at the location (3, -2).
-----------------
As a way to check, we can plug x = 3 into each equation. We should get y = -2 as a result for each equation
y = (-5/3)x + 3
y = (-5/3)*3 + 3
y = -5+3
y = -2
The first equation is confirmed. Let's check the second equation
y = (1/3)x - 3
y = (1/3)*3 - 3
y = 1 - 3
y = -2
Both equations have the y value equal -2 when x = 3. Therefore, the overall solution is confirmed.
1:6 in simplest form.. there is 24 animals in total and there is 4 goats so the ratio would be 4:24 and then you divide 4 and 24 by 4 and get 1:6
Well, there are 3 feet in a yard so you can just divide the number of yards by 3.
Answer:
12 black beads
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the ration of gold beads to black beads on the short necklace:
Since the ratio of 4:1 has 5 total parts, you can take the total amount of beads in the long necklace and divide by 5:
60 ÷ 5 = 12
12 beads represents 1 part of the ratio, so that would be the number of black beads. To check, multiply 12 by 4: 12 x 4 = 48, and set up a ratio:
48: 12 = 4: 1
