Your question appears to be phrased incorrectly. If the ratio of soccer players to football players is 4:1 then for every 1 football player there are 4 soccer players. For example, if there are 3 football players, there would be 12 soccer players.
The equivalent expression would be S = 4F
The statement: "there are 4 more soccer players than football players" is not the same thing. It simply means that we add 4 to the total of football players to find out how many soccer players there are.
The equivalent expression would be S = F + 4
That being said: An equivalent ratio to 4:1 would be 8:2 , 12:3, 16:4, ...
Think of the ratio as a fraction. 4:1 = 4/1
4/1 = 8/2 = 12/3 = 16/4 ..., etc.
Make an equation.
'is' is an equal sign
The blank can be 'x'
'of' = multiplication
18 = x * 30
Multiply:
18 = 30x
Divide 30 to both sides:
x = 0.6
Multiply by 100:
0.6 * 100 = 60%
Answer:
First number is -2.5
Second number 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Four times the first number minus three times the second number is 2.
To represent this statement, 4x -3y =2
Two times the first number increased by three times the second is 10.
To represent thsi statement, 2x+ 3y = 10
4x - 3y = 2
2x + 3y =10
4x - 2x = 2x
2x = -5
x= -2.5
The first number is -2.5
By using Substitution
2x + 3y = 10
2(-2.5) + 3y = 10
-5 + 3y = 10
3y = 10 +5
3y =15
y = 5
The second number is 5
....To check my answer
-5 + 15 = 10
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation
6 = x/4 + 2
subtract 2 from both sides
4 = x/ 4
since its dividing x and 4 you need to multiply 4 on both sides
16 = x
