Answer:

There are 15 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other) in the same proportion, the rule of three applies as follows:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

Then: x=\frac{c*b}{a}

where a, b and c are known values ​​and x is the value to be calculated.

In this case, the rule of three applies as follows: if 1/20 of a ton is the weight of 1 person, 3/4 of a ton is the weight of how many people?

number of people =\frac{\frac{3}{4} of a ton*1 person }{\frac{1}{20} of a ton}

or, what is the same,

number of people* \frac{1}{20} = \frac{3}{4}

Solving:

number of people= 15

<u><em>There are 15 friends</em></u>

. Which ordered pairs in the form (x, y) are solutions to the equation 7x – 5y = 28?
Brut [27]

we know that

If a ordered pair (x,y) is a solution of the equation, then the ordered pair must satisfy the equation

we have the equation

7x-5y=28

Let's verify all the cases to determine the solution to the problem.

<u>case A)</u> point (-6,-14)

Substitute the values of x and y in the equation

x=-6\\y=-14

7(-6)-5(-14)=28

-42+70=28

28=28 -------> is  true

therefore

The point  (-6,-14) is a solution of the equation

<u>case B)</u> point (-1,-7)

Substitute the values of x and y in the equation

x=-1\\y=-7

7(-1)-5(-7)=28

-7+35=28

28=28 -------> is  true

therefore

The point  (-1,-7) is  a solution of the equation

<u>case C)</u> point (4,10)

Substitute the values of x and y in the equation

x=4\\y=10

7(4)-5(10)=28

28-50=28

-22=28 -------> is not true

therefore

The point (4,10) is not a solution of the equation

<u>case D)</u> point (7,9)

Substitute the values of x and y in the equation

x=7\\y=9

7(7)-5(9)=28

49-45=28

4=28 -------> is not true

therefore

The point  (7,9) is not a solution of the equation

therefore

<u>the answer is </u>

(-6,-14)

(-1,-7)

Its y=3/4x+3

you can solve it

-3x+4y=12

add 3x both sides

4y=3x+12

divide 4 by both sides

y=3/4x+4
