Answer:

She should sell 20 band posters from total 80 to keep the maintain the same ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of movie posters collector has  = 120

The total number of band posters collector has  = 80

The current ratio of movie poster : band poster  = 120 : 100

or, reducing the ratio further, we get

ratio of movie poster : band poster  = 6 : 5   ......  (1)

Now, the number of posters she wants to sell = 24

So, the remaining movie poster left = 120 - 24  = 96

Let us assume she sells m band posters to keep the ratio equal.

So, the number of band posters she is left with = 100 - m

⇒The ratio of movie poster left  : band poster  left = 96 : 100 - m  .. (2)

Now here as the ratio remains same after selling m band posters, so

\frac{6}{5}  = \frac{96}{100 - m} \\\implies 100 - m = 96 \times\frac{5}{6} =  80\\or, 100 - 80 = m\\\implies  m= 20

or, m = 20

Hence, she should sell 20 band posters from total 80 to keep the maintain the same ratio.

Solve each system of equations <br> 2x- 5y = 7<br> 3x - y = -9
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

x = -4; y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y = 7

3x - y = -9

Rewrite top equation. Multiply both sides of bottom equation by -5. Add equations. This eliminates y, and we solve for x.

         2x - 5y = 7

(+)   -15x + 5y = 45

----------------------------

      -13x         = 52

Divide both sides by -13.

x = -4

Substitute -4 for x in the first original equation and solve for y.

2x - 5y = 7

2(-4) - 5y = 7

-8 - 5y = 7

-5y = 15

y = -3

Answer: x = -4; y = -3

-5 =
