<u>Answer</u>
A. c = 4
<u>Explanation</u>
In algebra, what you do to one side of the equation, the same has to be done on the other side.
32c = 128
divide both sides by 32
32c = 128.
32c ÷ 32 = 128 ÷ 32
c = 128/32
= 4

Answer:
D. 210
Step-by-step explanation:
If b is the number of boys in the choir, the ratio of boys to girls is ...
b/150 = 7/5
b = 150(7/5) = 30(7) = 210
There are 210 boys in the choir.
Answer:
b = 3 and a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
You have your given equation:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
You need to find what a and b is.
To find b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -2. When you multiply a number you have to multiply all of them. You have to choose a number that would cancel out all of a.
So now your equation would look like this when you solve for b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
-------------------
a - 9 = -27 then you divide -9 to -27 which is 3 so b = 3.
To find a:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -1 and 2a - 3b = -11 by -1 as well.
Your equation will look like this when you solve for a:
-2a + 3b = 11
-1a - 3b = -8
------------------
-3a = 3 then divide -3 to 3 which is -1 so a = -1.
Check to see if you have the correct answer by plugging in the number you got for a and b into the equation and solve.
1. 2(-1) -3(3) = -11
-2 - 9 = -11
2. -1 + 3(3) = 8
-1 + 9 = 8
