We have an equation: 5/? = 2/6

Cross multiply:
2*? = 5*6
⇒ ?= 5*6/2= 15

There were 15 trumpet players~

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The answer is: both class have the same ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Get the ratio of tall to short. Divide Tall by Short:

Jack's class:

18/10 = 1.8 tall one for every short one

Michael's class:

54/30 = 1.8

The ratio is the same!

You can further prove this by multiplying 18 times 3 and getting 54, and 10 times 3 and getting 30.

Even would be helpful if you just gave me the equation to solve it and I can do the rest. mart had a sale for labor day on DVD's

x - price of a video tape

y - price of a DVD

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+3y=134\\x+5y=179&|\text{subtract 5y from both sides}\end{array}\right\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+3y=134\\x=179-5y&|\text{substitute to the first equation}\end{array}\right\\\\2(179-5y)+3y=134\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(2)(179)+(2)(-5y)+3y=134\\\\358-10y+3y=134\qquad\text{subtract 358 from both sides}\\\\-7y=-224\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-7)}\\\\\boxed{y=32}\\\\\text{Put the value of y to the second equation}\\\\x=179-5(32)\\\\x=179-160\\\\\boxed{x=19}$

<h3>Answer: video tape cost $19 and DVD cost $32.</h3>
