So the ratio of boys to girls is 12:24.. now, is that an equivalent ratio as 2 boys for 4 girls? or 2:4? let's see.
you could start simplifying the 12/24 fraction by dividing by some common multiple, say 2, and get 6/12, then divide by 3 and get 2/4 and stop there.
then you'll notice that 12/24 is really 2/4 in disguise.
Answer: p=9
explanation: 6 reds + 3 blues = 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve a system of equations, we can add the two equations and solve for one of the remaining variables -- let's try to eliminate the 
variable when we add the two equations together.
Right now, there's a 
term in the first equation, and a 
term in the second equation, so if we add those together, we'll be able to eliminate the variable altogether and solve for 
.
However, when we also have a 
term in the first equation and 
term in the second equation, so adding these together will also eliminate the term, leaving a 
on the left-hand side of the equation.
If we add the two numbers on the right side of the equation, we get 
, which does not equal , meaning there are no solutions to this system of equations.
Answer:
y = 1500 * 1.09^t
Step-by-step explanation:
It should be clear that the rate of change is non-linear, meaning that we can express the function in the following manner
y = a * b^t, where a is the initial value and b is the rate of change and t is how many years.
Well, year 0 is the rate of change so we can say that a = 1500
Next, we divide any two consecutive year balances to find our rate of change:
1635/1500 = 1.09
Therefore, our equation looks like this: y = 1500 * 1.09^t
