Yes it is. When you simplify the girls ratio( 12:30 by 6)you'll get 2:5. When you simplify the boys ratio( 16:40 by 8)you'll get 2:5. So it is the same ratio.
Okay, for this one I would use elimination:
8x+(-2y)-10
or
8x-2y=10
2x=4y
x=2y
8(2y)-2y=10
16y-2y=10
14y=10
y=5/7
x=10/7 or 1 3/7. Hope it help!
Answer:
Could you take a picture of the question ?
Answer:
Divide both sides by -1/3, Apply distributive property, add 1/3 to both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
If its confusing just replace -1/3 with a simple number such as -1, to make it make sense.
