<span>The method of solving "by substitution" works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable.</span>
In the fairest school 70% are below 16 years old
1/3 are teachers which is equals to = 21
Let’s start solving:
=> 1/3 of 100%
=> 100 / 3 = 33.33%
thus 33.33% = 21
=> 21 x 3 = 63, is the total number of people in the school.
Let’s try solving the number of people below 16 years old
Have you notice that you are asking for a 70% of students but there are already 33.33% of teacher. Thus your given problem is not right already.
=> 100% - 33.33% = 66.67% that’s the only remaining percentage and not 70%
=> 63 * .6667 = 42.0021
Thus, there are around 42 people who are 16 years old younger.
In order to prove this, you simply plug in the number 2 everywhere you see X:
4^(2) = 8(2).
Simplify
16 = 16 √
Since this checks out, x is proven to be 2.
answer:
3/4 cups of sugar
Explanation:
turn 1 1/2 into a number which is 1.5 divide that by 2 which is .75 now turn that into a fraction and you get the answer 3/4 cups of sugar
