Please see below solution:
Let x = number of books that Bryan reads2x for amanda = Amanda 3x - 4 for Colin Amanda = 5/8(Bryan + Colin)2x = 5/8(x+3x-4)2x = 5/8(4x-4)
[16x = 5(4x-4)]816x = 20x - 20Subtract 20x from each side-4x =-20-4x/-4= -20/-4 divide -4 to eliminate the -4 in -4xx = 5
Therefore:
Bryan reads 5 books a month.
Since Amanda reads twice as many books a Bryan read so Amanda 10 books a month.
And Colin 11 books a month. 3(5) - 4 = 11

Answer:
(0,-4) (-8,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 0, y = -4
y=0, x = -8
Answer:
a) 7 : 20
b)There will be 35 people with blue eye
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
This question is asking you the ratio of the number of people with blue eyes to the total number of people.
So seven people with blue eyes to the total number of 20 people.
7 : 20
b)
you got the ratio 7 : 20, this also means that there will be 7 people with blue eyes in every 20 people.
so you use 100 divides by 20, you will get the number five, this means there are 5 groups of 20 in 100 people.
so then you use 5 times 7, then you got the number 35.
That means, there are 35 people with blue eyes in 100 people.
Given b equals -3, determine if it is a solution to 4b - 6 = - 18.
So, we have our given which is b = -3, and we are asked to determine if it a solution to the above equation.
To do this, we can plug -3 in for b and see if it works out.
Work:
Plug in -3 for b.
4(-3) - 6 = - 18
-12 - 6 = -18
-12 - 6 = - 18
Thus, b = -3 is a viable solution for the equation of 4b - 6 = -18.
