Answer:
9 · x - 16
Explanation:
Nine times a number: 9 · x
Decreased by 16: - 16
Put them together: 9 · x - 16
We subtract 28 - 16 and get the number of girls
so lets do that
28 - 16 = 12
now we know the unsimplified ratio os 12 to 16
simplifed girls 12 ÷ 4 = 3
simplified boys 16 ÷ 4 = 4
since it says (girls to boys) we put girls first then boys
so it would become 3 : 4
Or the answer is B.) 3 : 4
Problem 3
The constant term is 290. This is the term that stays the same no matter what the value of 'a' happens to be. Contrast this with the variable term 2.50a which changes if 'a' changes (hence the name "variable" for "vary" or "change")
If Mike sold 0 accessories, then a = 0 and the expression would be
2.50*a + 290 = 2.50*0 + 290 = 290
Selling 0 accessories leads to $290. This is the amount he is guaranteed with the 2.50a portion being additional money to motivate him to sell more.

Answer: Choice (3) 290, amount he is guaranteed
======================================
Problem 4
Plug y = 0 into the equation. Solve for x
9x - 14y = -3
9x - 14*0 = -3 .... replace y with 0
9x - 0 = -3
9x = -3
9x/9 = -3/9 ... divide both sides by 9
x = -3/9
x = -1/3

Answer: Choice (3) which is -1/3
