Answer:
240 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Grade 7 : Grade 8 = 5 : 3
Number of seventh grade students = 5x
Number of Eighth grade students = 3x
3x = 90
x = 90÷3
x = 30
Total students = 5x + 3x = 8x = 8 * 30 = 240
The answer to your question is 3
Alright then!
First off, is your picture REALLY necessary? Whatever haha
A mixed number is just a simplified fraction really.
16/3 = 5 1/3
Hope it helps!
Can you give me brainliest as well please? Thanks ~Samuel
Since one equation has a negative y and the other has a positive y, I'm going to use those since they cancel each other out. Before that, the two y's need to be equal to each other.
x+2y=6
x-y=3
Multiply the bottom equation by two so then you have:
x+2y=6
2x-2y=6
The y's now cancel out:
x=6
2x=6
Add them together
3x=12
Divide
x=4.
To find y, plug x into either equation (*don't have to do both, but I will)
(4)+2y=6
(4)-y=3
Subtract four
2y=2
-y=-1
Divide each
2y/2 = 2/2
y=1
-y/-1 = -1/-1
y=1
The answer is:
x=4
y=1
I hope that helps!
