Answer:

252 bags of maize

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that a farmer harvested maize

In the year 2012 = 144 bags of maize

In the year 2013(following year) the harvest decreased in the ratio 3:4

This means

3:4 = 2013: 2012.

Where number of bags harvested in 2013 = unknown = x

3/4 = x/ 144

Cross multiply 4x = 3 × 144

x = 3 × 144/ 4

× = 108

This means 108 bags of maize was harvested in 2013

The total number of bags harvested is = 108 + 144

= 252 bags of maize.

Solve by substitution 3x+y=3 and 7x+2y=1
balu736 [363]

3x + y = 3

7x + 2y = 1

First isolate one of the variables (x or y) in one of the equations.

Isolate "y" in the first equation(because it is the easiest to isolate) and substitute it into the second equation.

3x + y = 3      Subtract 3x on both sides

3x - 3x + y = 3 - 3x

y = 3 - 3x


7x + 2y = 1

7x + 2(3 - 3x) = 1     [since y = 3 - 3x, you can substitute (3-3x) for "y"]

Multiply/distribute 2 into (3 - 3x)

7x + (3(2) - 3x(2)) = 1

7x + 6 - 6x = 1

x + 6 = 1     Subtract 6 on both sides

x = -5


Now that you know "x", substitute it into one of the equations (I will do both)

3x + y = 3

3(-5) + y = 3       [since x = -5, you can plug in -5 for "x"]

-15 + y = 3    Add 15 on both sides

y = 18


7x + 2y = 1

7(-5) + 2y = 1

-35 + 2y = 1     Add 35 on both sides

2y = 36     Divide 2 on both sides

y = 18


x = -5, y = 18  or  (-5, 18)

A survey found that 12 out of every 15 people prefer eating out over cooking. If 500 people took the survey, how many people pre
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

400 people

Step-by-step explanation:

15 = 12

500 = x

Cross multiply

15x = 12 × 500

Divide both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{12 * 500}{15}  (* means multiplication if you do not know)

\frac{12 * 500}{15} = 100 × 4= 400 people
