Answer:
<em>In the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Division by Sharing</u>
A certain amount M can be evenly split among n parties by performing a division M/n.
The first group of six friends earned $45 and they split it evenly, i.e. the same amount goes to each member. Each of them received $45/6= $7.50 apiece.
The second group of four friends won the second-place prize of $35 and they split it evenly also. Each member received $35/4=$8.75.
By comparing both numbers, we see that 8.75 is a bigger fraction of 35 that 7.50 is of 45. Each member from the second-place price will receive more money than the first group.
We can conclude in the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money
5x+3y=12
Subtract 5x from both sides
3y=-5x+12
Divide by 3
Y=-5/3x +4
Answer:
(-5, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Elimination seems like the best method to use here.
x+y=-2
x-y=-8
---------
2x=-10
Divide everything by two
x=-5
Now plug it back into one of the original equations,
-5+y=-2
Add 5 to everything
y=3
