So, the ration is 17:3, you know that. Therefore, the change from # of students to the 17 is the same change as # teachers to 3. Knowing this, you also know that the total # of people ihas the same change as the total ratio. So 17+3 = 20. 740/20 = 37. So the change is 37. 3x37= 111   17x37=629 
You can check to make sure this answer is correct by adding the two final numbers. 111+629 = 740.  (Some find it easier to see lined up really pretty)
17 -- 3   total 20
 x -- y   total 740

the linear equation y=2x represents the cost y of x pounds of pears. which order pair lies on the graph of the equation? A. (2,4
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

  A.  (2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The ordered pairs represent (x, y). Since you have y =2x, this is the same as ...

  (x, 2x)

That is, the second number in the pair needs to be twice the first number in the pair. Since you know your times tables, you know that this is not the case for (1, 0), (10, 5) or (4, 12). Those values of x would give (1, 2), (10, 20), (4, 8).

It is the case that you have (x, 2x) for (2, 4).

The point (2, 4) lies on the graph of y = 2x.
