Answer:

⅑

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represents number of males, and f represents number of females taking the maths course.

Given that number of males (m) taking the maths course is 8 times as much as number of females (f), total number of students taking the maths course (T).

Thus we can represent the information above with the following:

m = no. of males

f = no. of females

T = Total

m = 8f

T = m + f

Thus,

Total = 8f + f = 9f

==>The fraction of the course that are females = No. of females (f) ÷ Total no. of students (T)

= f/9f

Fraction of females in simplified form would be ⅑

Answer:  " y =  -10 . "

___________________

Step-by-step explanation:

___________________

The question:

Find the  value of  "y" when "x" equals 17.

Given the equation:

 - x + y = -27 ;

___________________

We plug in the given value: "17" ; for "x" ; and solve for "y" :

- 17 + y = -27 ;

_____________________

↔ y + (-17) = -27 ;

Rewrite as:

   y − 17  = -27 ;   {since:  "adding a negative value" is the same

                                           as "subtracting a positive value."}.

_____________________

Now, we add "17" to each side of the equation;

to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" :

  y − 17 + 17  = -27 + 17 ;

to get:

  y  =  - 10 .

Hope this is helpful to you.

Best wishes to you in your academic pursuits—

A.) -13
b.) 17
c.) 80
d.) 1
All your doing is substituting x for the number in the parenthesis and matching it with the correct function. For example, f(-3) would be 2(-3)-7 which is equal to -6-7 which is -13.
