Set up the proportion with the numbers on top equalling the cars and the numbers on the bottom representing the trucks.

c equals the number of unknown cars.
To solve the proportion, cross multiply (multiply 8 by 9 and 36 by c) and solve for c.
72 = 36c
Divide 36 from both sides to get the answer.
c = 2
If there are 9 trucks, there are 2 cars.
You can check this by dividing 2 by 9, and dividing 8 by 36. Since they both equal the same number, this answer is correct.
Hope this helps =)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3(0.3x + 1.3) = 2(0.4x - 0.85)
0.9x + 3.9 = 0.8x - 1.70
0.9x - 0.8x = - 1.70 - 3.9
0.1x = - 5.6
x = - 5.6 / 0.1
x = - 56
Hello!
Since we already see an equation that equals y (-2x-4), we can plug that equation into the first to solve for x.
x+4(-2x-4)=19
x-8x-16=19
-7x=35
x=-5
Now that we know the value of x, we will plug it into the second equation to solve for y.
y=-2(-5)-4
y=10=4
y=6
This gives us the answer below
The correct answer is A) (-5,6)
I hope this helps!
