Write five names of 64

The ratio of games won at to the games lost for a basketball team is 3:2. The team won 18 games. How many games did the team los

schepotkina [342]

A ratio of 3:2.

The easiest way to go about this is to divide the actual number of wins (18) by its corresponding element in the ratio.

So:

$\frac{18}{3}= 6$

This means every element on the ratio has a value of 6.

The amount of element in the ratio that correspond to losses is 2.

Multiply the actual amount of matches per element in the ratio by the number of elements that represents the losses in the ratio.

$6*2=12$

Your answer:

<em>"The team lost 12 games."</em>

What is the value of y if 13/9 = y/18

Maslowich

Answer:

$y=26$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Swap sides

$\frac{13}{9}=\frac{y}{18}$

Swap sides:

$\frac{y}{18}=\frac{13}{9}$

2. Isolate the y

$\frac{y}{18}=\frac{13}{9}$

Multiply to both sides by 18:

$\frac{y}{18}\cdot 18=\frac{13}{9}\cdot 18$

Group like terms:

$\frac{1}{18}\cdot 18y=\frac{13}{9}\cdot 18$

Simplify the fraction:

$y=\frac{13}{9}\cdot 18$

Multiply the fractions:

$y=\frac{13\cdot 18}{9}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$y=26$

Why learn this:

Linear equations cannot tell you the future, but they can give you a good idea of what to expect so you can plan ahead. How long will it take you to fill your swimming pool? How much money will you earn during summer break? What are the quantities you need for your favorite recipe to make enough for all your friends?
Linear equations explain some of the relationships between what we know and what we want to know and can help us solve a wide range of problems we might encounter in our everyday lives.

Linear equations with one unknown

The main application of linear equations is solving problems in which an unknown variable, usually (but not always) x, is dependent on a known constant.

We solve linear equations by isolating the unknown variable on one side of the equation and simplifying the rest of the equation. When simplifying, anything that is done to one side of the equation must also be done to the other.

An equation of:

$ax+b=0$

in which $a$ and $b$ are the constants and $x$ is the unknown variable, is a typical linear equation with one unknown. To solve for $x$ in this example, we would first isolate it by subtracting $b$ from both sides of the equation. We would then divide both sides of the equation by $a$ resulting in an answer of:
