Answer:

4:1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+20 : y+20 = 5 : 2

(x+20)/(y+20) = 5/2

2(x+20) = 5(y+20)

2x+40 = 5y+100

2x = 5y+60 (1)

x-5 : y-5 = 5:1

(x-5)/(y-5) = 5/1

x-5 = 5(y-5)

x-5 = 5y-25

x = 5y-20 (2)

Solve (1) & (2) simultaneously,

2(5y-20) = 5y+60

10y-40 = 5y+60

5y = 100

y = 20

x = 5y-20

x = 5(20)-20 = 100-20

x = 80

x:y

80:20

4:1

Answer: x:y = 2:5

Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The prices of two radios are in the ratio x:y
When the prices are both increased by £20, the ratio becomes 5:2
Then,
When the prices are both reduced by £5, the ratio becomes 5:1
Then,
Subtract (2) from (1), we get

Put this value in (2), we get

Now, the ratio of x:y=
Dividing 4 from both the numerator and denominator, we get
x:y= =2:5

Explain the step(s) needed to solve 4+ p = 1 and then solve for p
liberstina [14]

Answer:

p = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply algebra to the equation by subtracting 4 from each side, that way it will cancel out at least the 4 next to p. It should now look like this: p = -3

Because we can't make anymore moves and the expression clearly states what p is, we're done!
