You would want to multiply equation a by -5 so you can eliminate by addition
Hi there!
To solve this problem, we need to find the amount of classmates out of the entire class who did not choose blue as their favorite color and then convert it into a percentage.
First, let's find the fraction:
Since there are 25 total people in her class, since
6 + 9 + 10 = 25
25 is the denominator of the fraction;
Since there are 16 people who did not choose blue,
6 + 10 = 16
16 is the numerator of the fraction.
So, our fraction is 16/25.
Now, we need to convert it into a percentage. To do this, we need to make the denominator 100 by multiplying it by a certain number, and then multiplying the numerator by that same number so the fraction stays equal:
16/25
= 16*4/25*4
= 64/100
= 64%
So, the answer is 64% of Stephanie's classmates.
Hope this helps!
I cannot suggest anything other than the set of real numbers here, but maybe someone else can provide a better answer. As long as you increase or decrease x (which is a real number) then you will get a real number, or the infinite set of real numbers.
Answer:
x=2.65
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to figure out how much the length of the sides is changing between the equations. In this case it is changing by a factor of 2.5. Now we need to work backwards. First use this equation:
This is because whatever the length of the side with x is, will be 14/2.5. So divide both sides by 2.5:
Next, add 5 to both sides:
Then divide both sides by 4:
