Let me change this equation up a bit...
x - 4y = -16....same as ur equation in the problem...just a different form

now its just a matter of subbing
when y = 5
x - 4(5) = -16
x - 20 = -16
x = -16 + 20
x = 4
so the first space on ur table above the 5 is 4

no need to go further...answer B

The residence of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes the ratio of yes votes to no votes was 7 to 4 if there were 367

Tresset [83]

Answer: 10,098 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 7 : 4 which means that for every 7 yes votes, there were 4 no votes.

To find the total votes, add the ratios:

= 7 + 4

= 11

4/11 are the no votes out of the total. Assuming the total is x, the formula is:

4/11x = 3,672

x = 3,672 / 4/11

x = 10,098 votes
