-5-(15y-1) = 2(7y-16) - y // question
-5-15y+1 = 14y-32-y // distribute
-15y - 4 = 13y - 32 // subtract
-28y = -28 // divide
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
2 : 3 = 6 : x ,
Ratio can be written as
2*3 = 6, we multiply top and bottom of fraction by 3
So value of x=9
4 : 7 = x : 42 ,
7*6 = 42, we multiply top and bottom of fraction by 6
So value of x=24
2x : 48 = 3 : 12,
\frac{3}{12}[/tex] = ![\frac{2x}{48}12*4 = 48, we multiply top and bottom of fraction by 4[tex]\frac{3*4}{12*4} = \frac{12}{48}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2x%7D%7B48%7D%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E12%2A4%20%3D%2048%2C%20we%20multiply%20top%20%20and%20bottom%20of%20fraction%20by%204%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%5Btex%5D%5Cfrac%7B3%2A4%7D%7B12%2A4%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B12%7D%7B48%7D)
2x= 12, so x= 6
12 : 15 = x : 20
,
we multiply top and bottom by 4/3
So value of x=16
Fraction would be 30/100 and decinal would be .30 and ratio would be 30/100
20 I apologize if this is wrong
Let "a" and "s" represent the costs of advance and same-day tickets, respectively. Your problem statement gives you two relations.
.. a + s = 35 . . . . . the combined cost of one of each is 35
.. 15a +40s = 900 . . total paid for this combination of tickets was 900
There are many ways to solve these equations. You've probably been introduced to "substitution" and "elimination" (or "addition"). Using substitution for "a", we have
.. a = 35 -s
.. 15(35 -s) +40s = 900 . . substitute for "a"
.. 25s +525 = 900 . . . . . . . simplify
.. 25s = 375 . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 525
.. s = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 25
Then
.. a = 35 -15 = 20
The price of an advance ticket was 20.
The price of a same-day ticket was 15.
