Ax + z = aw - y....subtract aw from both sides
ax - aw + z = -y....subtract z from both sides
ax - aw = -y - z....factor out a on the left side
a(x - w) = -y - z...divide both sides by (x-w)
a = (-y - z) / (x - w)
Answer:
Somewhere around 6 or 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Translating the words into formula, we have

In fact, we have that the pay rate is the total payment divided by the number of hours worked.
We can solve this formula for w in two steps: starting from the formula above, multiply both sides by w:

And then divide both sides by r:

Theres not really enough information to work from here. Is there anymore to this problem???
3/5 of 42000 is 25200 so the amount of people who did not vote is 16800 because the beginning amount of 42000 subtracted from 25200 gives you the final answer
If that's confusing the answer is 16800 votes didn't pick the winner
