Answer:

There were 180 voters for blue color.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of voters be 'x'.

Given:

Number of Voters for blue color = \frac{5}{8}x

Number of Voters for green color = \frac{5}{9}(x-\frac58x)=\frac59x(1-\frac58)

Now we will use LCM to make the denominator common we get;

Number of Voters for green color = \frac59x(\frac88-\frac58)=\frac59x(\frac{8-5}{9})=\frac59x(\frac38)=\frac{15x}{72}

Number of Voters for red color = 48

We need to find the number of voters for blue color.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

total number of voters is equal to sum of Number of Voters for blue color, Number of Voters for green color and Number of Voters for red color.

framing in equation form we get;

x=\frac58x+\frac{15x}{72}+48

Combining like terms we get;

x-\frac58x-\frac{15x}{72} = 48

Now we will make denominators common using LCM we get;

\frac{72x}{72}-\frac{5x\times9}{8\times9}-\frac{15x\times1}{72\times 1} = 48\\\\\frac{72x}{72}-\frac{45x}{72}-\frac{15x}{72} = 48

Now denominators are common so we will solve the numerators we get;

\frac{72x-45x-15x}{72}=48\\\\\frac{12x}{72}=48\\\\\frac{x}{6}=48

Now multiplying both side by 6 we get;

\frac{1}{6}x\times6=48\times6\\\\x = 288

Number of voters for blue color = \frac{5}{8}x=\frac{5}{8}\times 288= 180

Hence There were 180 voters for blue color.

Serga [27]

Answer:

35 {z}^{6} {d}^{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you are supposed to simplify:

7 {z}^{2}  \times 5 {z}^{4}  \times  {d}^{3}  \times  {d}^{8}

Then we need to apply the product rule of indices.

{a}^{m}  \times  {a}^{n}  =  {a}^{m + n}

So we multiply to get:

35 {z}^{2 + 4}  \times  {d}^{3 + 8}

We now simplify the exponents to get:

35 {z}^{6}  \times  {d}^{11}

Therefore the required product is

35 {z}^{6} {d}^{11}

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 25. One of the numbers exceeds the other by 9. Find numbers

<h3>here</h3>

the other number = x + 9

Let the number be x. 

Sum of two numbers = 25

According to question, x + x + 9 = 25

⇒ 2x + 9 = 25

⇒ 2x = 25 - 9

⇒ 2x = 16

⇒ 2x/2 = 16/2

⇒ x = 8

Therefore, x + 9 = 8 + 9 = 17

Therefore, the two numbers are 8 and 17.

Find the solution to the system of equations: x + 3y = 7 and 2x + 4y = 8 1. Isolate x in the first equation: 2. Substitute the v
klemol [59]
X + 3y = 7
x = -3y + 7

2x + 4y = 8
2(-3y + 7) + 4y = 8
-6y + 14 + 4y = 8
-2y = 8 - 14
-2y = - 6
y = -6/-2
y = 3

x + 3y = 7
x + 3(3) = 7
x + 9 = 7
x = 7 - 9
x = -2

solution is (-2,3)
