X and y
x:y=3:5
or
x/y=3/5


when 4 is subtracted from x and 8 is added to y new ratio is 2:7
(x-4)/(y+8)=2/7



we have
x/y=3/5
(x-4)/(y+8)=2/7


get rid o frationc

x/y=3/5
times both sides by 5y
5x=3y

(x-4)/(y+8)=2/7
times both sides by 7(y+8)
7(x-4)=2(y+8)
7x-28=2y+16
add 28 both sides
7x=44+2y

we have
5x=3y
and
7x=2y+44


multiply first equation by 2 and seecond equaiton by 3
10x=6y and 21x=6y+132

sub 10x for 6y
21x=10x+132
minus 10x both sides
11x=132
divide both sides by 11
x=12

x/y=3/5
12/y=3/5
times both sides by 5y
60=3y
divide both sid esyb 3
20=y

12 and 20

the greater is 20

Answer:

The answer 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it goes up by five for they gave us the amount of point they get for 5 hours and the amount of point he had for 5 hours was 50 so we just needed to add 5 more and 50+5= 55

I don't know if I made myself clear but good luck! :)

out of 125 children at summer camp 45 signed up for swimming 38 for arts and crafts if a child is randomly selected what is the
anzhelika [568]
P(s) = 45/125 = 0.360
P(A&C) = 38/125 = 0.304
Probability that one is not in Arts and Crafts = 1- P(A&C) = 1-0.304 = 0.696

Therefore,
Probability that the child selected is in swimming when its known they didn't sign for Arts and craft = Probability they signed for swimming * Probability that they didn't sign for Arts and Crafts = 0.360*0.696 = 0.25056
