145/5 is 29. Is this good?
Answer: the number of students that were surveyed is 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = total number of students that were surveyed about their favorite colors
1/4 of the students preferred red.
This means that the number of students that preferred red is 1/4 × x = x/4
1/8 of the students preferred blue.
This means that the number of students that preferred blue is 1/8 × x = x/8
The remaining number of students will be the total number of students - the sum of the number of students that preferred red and the number of students that preferred blue. It becomes
x - (x/4 + x/8) = x - 3x/8 = 5x/8
3/5 of the remaining students were for green. This means that the number of students that preferred green is 3/5 × 5x/8 = 3x/8
if 15 students prefer green, then
3x/8 = 15
3x = 120
x = 120/3 = 40 students
4.5/3= 1.5
It is 1.5 times bigger than the smaller triangle.
So,
5*1.5= 7.5
x= 7.5
I hope this helps!

Answer:
the coefficient in the equation is 13
Step-by-step explanation:
a coefficient is a number that is in front of a variable. 13 is in front of the variable u so it is the coefficient.
The answer is D, i.e. the system was solved via elimination
If you multiply the first equation by 5, the system becomes
If you sum the two equations, you get
And so if you substitute the second equation of system A with this new equation, you'll get system B.
