The answer is 12.
since we also know that jack is 2 times lucy now then the entire formula would be 2x - 6 = 18 to solve we add 6 to both sides 2x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6 the 6s on the left cancel because when you have a positive and negative of the same number it always = 0 we get 2x = 24 then divide both sides by 2 to get the answer 2x / 2 = 24 / 2 the 2s on the left cancel and you get
There are 15 novelists and 9 poets. This is a ratio of 5 to 3 and adds up to 24 people
Answer:
100
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio is a fraction, so ratio of boys to girls would be written as [let boys be "b" and girls be "g"]:
Also, there are 250 more girls than boys, so we can write:
g = 250 + b
Lets substitute this into "g" of the ratio we wrote and cross mulitply and solve for b:
The number of boys = 100
2x + 5y = 10
Change to y = mx + b
subtract 2x from both sides
5y = -2x + 10
divide both sides by 5
y = -2/5x + 2
slope = -2/5
LETTER B
