Proportions are very simple once you get the hang of them! What you do is cross multiple. :)

1. x/8=5/16

You first start by multiplying x and 16

Then multiply 5 and 8

So now you have 16x=40

Finally divide 16 from each side

You get: x+0.4!

2. 5/12=15/x

Remember to cross-multiply!

Now we have 5x=180

Next divide 5 from each side

You get: x=36!

A system of equations has definitely many solutions. If 2y-4x=6 is one of the equations, which could be the other equation?
NISA [10]

The given equation is ⇒⇒⇒ 2y - 4x = 6

∴ 2y = 4x + 6   ⇒ divide all the equation over 2

∴ y = 2x + 3  and it can be written as ⇒⇒⇒ y - 2x = 3

The last equation represents a straight line with a slope = 2 and y-intercept = 3

To construct a system of equations with definitely many solutions and the equation ( 2y-4x=6 ) is one of the equations, the other equation must have the same slope and the same y-intercept.

so, the general solution of the other equation is ⇒ a ( y - 2x ) = 3a

Where a is constant and belongs to R ( All real numbers )

The system of equations which has definitely many solutions is consisting of <u>Coincident lines.</u>

Ratling [72]
Woman and men would be the same price, if the haircuts are very popular, each gender got the same haircut, then they also would be the same price, it is mostly about the prices, interestingness, and popularity or each barbershop, go by your nearest barbershop and see what prices they have. :))
