No, as if you reduce 4/16 it is 1/4, not 3/5, therefore they are not equivalent.

9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
$495 divided by 15 hours = $33 - this is how much the trainer charges per hour.

Answer:
x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -5 y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x + 2y = 9
multiply the 2nd equation by 3 to set it up for elimination
3(x - 3y)= 3(4)
3x-9y = 12
so now combine both to add
-3x + 2y = 9
3x - 9y = 12
Adding both gives you
-7y = 21
divide both by -7 and you get
y = -3
and you substitute y back into equation to get x
x - 3 (-3) = 4 gives you
x + 9 = 4
x = 4 - 9
x = -5
3, 6, 12
I guessed and checked. So if 3 is the smallest number, I would, multiply it by 3, which is 9. 9 is 3 less than the largest number which would be 12. 12 + 3 is 15. To find the third number, subtract 21 and 15 which is 6
