Answer:

(6, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 8

1. subtract 2y to get x alone -- x = -2y + 8

2. insert (-2y + 8) as x

2x - 2 = 10

2(-2y + 8) -2 = 10

3. distribute the 2

-4y + 16 - 2 = 10

4. combine like terms

-4y + 14 = 10

5. subtract 14 from both sides

-4y = -4

6. divide by -4

y = 1

7. plug y into any of the two original equations

x + 2(1) = 8

8. simplify

x + 2 = 8

x = 6

9. check answer with second equation

2(6) - 2 = 10

12 - 2 = 10

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have the numbers $a$ and $b$ , the ratio of number $a$ to number $b$ is $a:b$ or $\frac{a}{b}\\$ .

If $\frac{2}{5}\\$ of the students who study a language studies French, then the rest of them, $\frac{3}{5}\\$ , doesn't study French. The ratio of the students who study French to the students who don't study French should be $\frac{2}{5} : \frac{3}{5}\\$ .
