Use the concept of Lagrange multipliers.
Since the line is parallel, the same coefficients can be used for x and y. The constant on the right needs to change so that the given point will satisfy the equation.
... 5x - 4y = 5(-8) -4(2) = -40 -8 = -48
Your equation is
... 5x -4y = -48
A + b = d+c
<span>a - b = e - c </span>
The b and c cancel out.
<span>2a = d+e </span>
<span>a = (d+e)/2 </span>
Based on the information of the table, you have:
1. The ratio is 105/150. By simplifying you get for the ratio 7/10.
2. The students that prefer action movies are 75+90 = 165 and the total numbe of students is 180+240 = 420. Then, the fraction of students who prefer action movies is:
165/420 = 11/28
3. The fraction of seventh graders students that prefer action movies is:
75/180 = 5/12
4. The percent of student that prefer comedy is:
105 + 150 = 255 total student that prefer comedy
420 total number of students
the fraction is:
(x/100)420 = 255
solve for x:
x = 255(100/420)
x = 60.71
the percent of students is 60.71%
5. The percent of eighth graders student who prefer action moveis is:
(x/100)240 = 90
x = 90(100/240)
x = 37.5
the percent of students is 37.5%
6. To determine which from the given grades has the greatest percent of student that prefer action movies, calculate the percent of student in seventh-grade:
(x/100)180 = 75
x = 75(100/180)
x = 41.66
the percent of student is 41.66%
then, seventh grade has the greatest percent of student that prefer action movies.
Answer:
6x +24
Step-by-step explanation:
you factor out the 6 so 6x and 6*4 is 24
