Here are the equations
x+y=48
x/y=5/8


but here's how I would solve it

5+7=12
48=12units
divide by 12 both sides
4=1unit

males=5 unit
4=1unit
times 5
20=5unit=males

females=7unit
4=1unit
times 7
28=7unit=females

Answer: x+y=48

\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{5}{7}\Rightarrow\ 7x=5y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of males on the ride. Let y represent the number of females on the ride.

As per given , we have ,

x+y=48---(i)

\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{5}{7}\Rightarrow\ 7x=5y---(ii)

From (i) and (ii), the required  two linear equations form a system that you can use to find the number of males and the number of females on the ride are :

x+y=48

\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{5}{7}\Rightarrow\ 7x=5y

Bridget needs an actor. Actor A is offering her services for an initial $250 in addition
Westkost [7]
$250 + 50x = $200 + 60x

Get like terms on the same side using subtraction
250 -200 + 50x = 60x
50 + 50x - 50x = 60x -50x
50 = 10x     now divide by 10 and get 5 days.

Let's check

Day 1  Actor A is $250 + 50 = $300  Actor B = $200 + 60 = $260
Day 2 Actor A is $250 + 100 = $350  Actor B = $200 + 120 = $320
Day 3 Actor A is $250 + 150 = $400   Actor B = $200 + 180 = $380
Day 4 Actor A  is $250 + 200 = $450   Actor B = $200 + 240 = $440
Day 5  Actor A is $250 + 250 = $500    Actor B = $200 + 300 = $500

The base of a triangle is one third of its height. If the area of the triangle is 24 square inches, what are the base and height
Burka [1]

Answer:

D. 4in, 12in

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle  = 24in²

Unknown:

Base and height of the triangle = ?

Solution:

The area of a triangle  = \frac{1}{2} x base x height

   From the problem,

        base  = \frac{1}{3} x height

let the base  = b

            height  = h

         b =  \frac{1}{3}h

          h = 3b

Input into the formula of area;

       24  =  \frac{1}{2} x b x 3b

   Mulitply through by 2;

       48 = 3b²

         b² = 16

         b = √16 = 4

So, h = 3b= 3 x 4 = 12in
