(2) R=B+6
(3) G=B-4 so substitute G in (1)
R+B-4+B=50 substitute (2) in here
B+6+B-4+B=50 group like terms and solve
3B+2=50
3B=50-2
B=48/3=16 substitute in (2) and (3)
R=16+6=22
G=16-4=12
Check

The class is 60% women and 10% of the women have blond hair, so blond women comprise 60% × 10% = 6% of the class.
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Conversion and substitution

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find out if the expression is true, we can convert all the percentages into their decimal equivalence.

60% = 0.6

10% = 0.1

6% = 0.06

Now let's substitute the values.

0.06 = 0.6 x 0.1

0.06 = 0.06

Since 0.06 is equal 0.06, this then proves that it is true.
