I’d make the spinner slices into thirds that are even because there would be an equal chance for each slice to be chosen. If I were to spin the spinner, I would have an equal 33.33% chance that it would land on $3, $5, or -$6. This makes it fair because they would all have an equal chance to be chosen!
First, you need to isolate the x in the first equation.
-x + 5y = 1
Subtract 5y from both sides, leaving you with the following equation:
-x = 1-5y
Because you are trying to solve for positive x and not negative x, you need to make x positive. Therefore you divide both sides by -1. In Algebra, when 1 is the coefficient of the variable, it is not shown, but it is still there. The new equation will be the following: x = 5y-1
Now you just need to substitute the x within the second equation for the x equation we just solved for.
Therefore, the right answer will be 2(5y-1)+4y= -4. Now, all you have to do is choose the answer that states exactly that, which is the first choice.
Think about you have a pizza. you have 6 people and a total of 12 slices. How many can each person get? 2.
This is the same thing. $2.47 divided by 6 people = $0.46 cents each
Answer:
a:c = 35:24
a:c = 20:27
a:c = 35:22
a:c = 28:27
Step-by-step explanation:
a:b = 7:3
Using cross products
3a = 7b
Divide by 7
3a/7 = b
Now we want
8b = 5c
Substitute in 3a/7 for b
8 (3a/7) = 5c
24/7a = 5c
Multiply by 7
24/7a *7 = 5*7c
24a = 35c
Divide by c
24 a/c = 35
Divide by 24
a/c = 35/24
a:c = 35:24
a:b = 4:9
Using cross products
9a = 4b
Divide by 4
9a/4 = b
Now we want
3b = 5c
Substitute in 9a/4 for b
3 (9a/4) = 5c
27/4a = 5c
Multiply by 4
27/4a *4 = 5*4c
27a = 20c
Divide by c
27 a/c = 20
Divide by 27
a/c = 20/27
a:c = 20:27
b:c = 5:11
Using cross products
11b = 5c
Divide by 11
b = 5c/11
Now we want
2a = 7b
Substitute in 5c/11 for b
2a = 7(5c/11)
2a = 35c/11
Multiply by 11
2a*11 = 35c
22a = 35c
Divide by c
22 a/c = 35
Divide by 22
a/c = 35/22
a:c = 35:22
b:c = 14:3
Using cross products
3b = 14c
Divide by 3
b = 14c/3
Now we want
9a = 2b
Substitute in 14c/3 for b
9a = 2(14c/3)
9a = 28c/3
Multiply by 3
9a*3 = 28c
27a = 28c
Divide by c
27 a/c = 28
Divide by 27
a/c = 28/27
a:c = 28:27
