Given

The equation,

9x - 5y = 29.

To find the value of y when x is 1.

Explanation:

It is given that,

$9x-5y=29$

That implies,

When x=1,

$\begin{gathered} 9(1)-5y=29 \\ 9-5y=29 \\ -5y=29-9 \\ -5y=20 \\ y=\frac{20}{-5} \\ y=-4 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the value of y is -4.

14.4x - 28.2 > 36.6

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

x > 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality :

14.4x - 28.2 > 36.6

Collect like terms

14.4x > 36.6 + 28.2

14.4x > 64.8

Divide both sides by 14.4

x > 64.8 / 14.4

x > 4.5

In this line of circles, the ratio of red circles to blue circles is 1:3 How many more circles would need to be added to make th

zaharov [31]

Answer:

The number of red circles to be added would be equal to 8 times the original amount of red circles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of red circles

y ----> the number of blue circles

Originally

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{3}$

$y=3x$ ----> equation A

How many more circles would need to be added to make the ratio of red to blue 3:1

Let

n ----> the number of additional red circles

$\frac{x+n}{y}=\frac{3}{1}$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$\frac{x+n}{3x}=\frac{3}{1}$

solve for n

$x+n=9x\\n=9x-x\\n=8x$

therefore

The number of red circles to be added would be equal to 8 times the original amount of red circles
