Remark
The way you have to set this up is to take the new number for the males and put it over the total for the males and females. The new number for the males / total = 3/5.
Step One
Find the total number of females
100 + 160 = 260 when 100 females have been added to the study.
Step Two
Find the number of males
The total number of males = 240 + x where x is the number of males to be added.
Step Three
Find the total for both
260 + 240 + x = Total
500 + x = Total.
Step Four
Find the ratio of males to total
(240 + x) / (500 + x) = 3/5
Step Five
Cross multiply and solve
(240 + x)*5 = (500+x)*3
1200 + 5x = 1500 + 3x Subtract 1200 from both sides.
5x = 1500 - 1200 + 3x
5x = 300 + 3x Subtract 3x from both sides.
5x - 3x = 300
2x = 300 Divide by 2
x = 300 / 2
x = 150
Check
(240 + 150 ) / (500 + 150) = ? 3/5
390 / 650 = ? 3/5
39/65 = ? 3/5 Divide the top and bottom on the left by 13
3/5 = 3/5 and it checks.
That means she need to buy 2 packs of 100.
I think its 6 but im not sure to be exactly right
Answer:
x = 6 ; Rewritten: 2x-3y-12=0 ; y=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-3 multiply 0=12
x=6 ( that's the function)
Rewritten steps: 2x-3y=12 then move constant to the left by adding its opposite to both sides which gives you 2x-3y-12=12-12. After the sum of two opposites equals 0 which is 2x-3y-12=0
Y Intercept :
2x-3y=12 and to find y intercept, sub x = 0 ; to 2 multiply 0 -3y=12 and then you solve for the equation which is your answer.
