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

Which of the following is the standard form of the equation 5x2 - 20x = 15?
Sophie [7]
It is C. The first part is raised to the 2nd power. so it goes first since that is the highest. then the -20x because variables are understood to the power of 1, while normal numbers are understood to the power of 0. so the order is highest to lowest (2,1,0)
