Answer:
The ratio of red sweets to yellow sweets is 12.
<span>2/3 + y - 4/5 = 1/3
y = 1/3 - 2/3 + 4/5
y = -1/3 + 4/5
y =-5/15 + 12/15
y = 7/15</span>
Answer:
p = 5 and b = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, create a system of equations:
2p + 4b = 42
7p + 9b = 107
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -7 and the bottom equation by 2:
-14p - 28b = -294
14p + 18b = 214
Add these together, and solve for b:
-10b = -80
b = 8
Plug in 8 as b into one of the equations, and solve for p:
2p + 4b = 42
2p + 4(8) = 42
2p + 32 = 42
2p = 10
p = 5
So, p = 5 and b = 8
8x5 = 40
3x2 = 6
40 - 6 = 34
answer:
area of shaded = 34
