Answer:
The number before a variable. For example, 4x. 4 would be the coefficient, and x would be the variable.
It is 36%, because a percent is defined as a part to a whole, so in this scenario the part is the number of votes for maria and the whole is the number of kids in the class, so if we put it into fraction form we'll 9/25, which can be increased to 36/100 or you can input it into a calculator and convert to percent form
B = 2 + g . . . (1)
g = 6 + r . . . (2)
r = 6 + p . . . (3)
Putting (3) into (2) gives:
g = 6 + 6 + p = 12 + p . . . (4)
Putting (4) into (1) gives:
b = 2 + 12 + p = 14 + p . . . (5)
b + g + r + p = 1200
2 + g + 6 + r + 6 + p + p = 1200
2 + 12 + p + 6 + 6 + p + 6 + p + p = 1200
32 + 4p = 1200
4p = 1200 - 32 = 1168
p = 292
From (5), b = 14 + p = 14 + 292 = 306
Therefore, there are 306 blue mables.
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:
We have then:
x: liz's age
y: melinda's age
We now write the system of equations:

By solving the system graphically we have that the age of each one is currently:

Next year, the age of liz is:
Answer:
Next year, Liz's age is 11 years.
Note: see attached image for the graphic solution.
