In fraction 1/2 in decimal 2.5
Answer:
yellow: x=6
red: y=4
blue: y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x = 1, y = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system of linear equations is expressed as
x - 2y = 11- - - - - - - - - - - - -1
- x + 6y = - 31- - - - - - - - - - - -2
We would eliminate x by adding equation 1 to equation 2. It becomes
- 2y + 6y = 11 - 31
4y = - 20
Dividing the the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 4, it becomes
4y/4 = - 20/4
y = - 5
Substituting y = - 5 into equation 1, it becomes
x - 2 × - 5 = 11
x + 10 = 11
Subtracting 10 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes
x + 10 - 10 = 11 - 10
x = 1
Answer: 320 boys
Step-by-step explanation: you would first take the total number (720) and divide it by the total number shown in the ratio (5+4=9)
720/9= 80
You would then take 80 and multiply it by 4 because that is the number representing the boys
80*4= 320
