Answer:
1920 men are there in college.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the statement: At a certain college, the ratio of men to women is 6 to 5. If there are 3520 total students.
Ratio states that it is just a comparison between, or a relating of, two different things.
i.e a to b or a: b
Ratio of men to women:
Men : Women = 6: 5
Let x be the number.
Total number of Men in college = 6x and Total number of women = 5x
Since, total number of students = 3520
⇒
Combine like terms;
11x = 3520
Divide by 11 on both sides we get;
x = 320
Therefore, total number of men in college = 6x = 6(320) = 1920
Here, we just use the following x values and put them into the equation.
y = - 0.05x + 16
y = -0.5(0) + 16
y = 16
y = - 0.05x + 16
y = -0.5(160) + 16
y = -80 + 16
y = -64
y = - 0.05x + 16
y = -0.5(320) + 16
y = - 160 + 16
y = -144
Now, to set up the table, you could list the x values and the y values.
x values :- 0,160, 320
y values:- 16, -64, -144
1=-8 l
4=100 l
7=? l

Hey!
So before trying to figure out the equation of the line, lets change -3y+4x = 9 into slope-intercept form:
-3y + 4x = 9
-3y = -4x + 9
y = (4/3)x - 3
Now that you have the equation in slope-intercept form we can find the equation of the line parallel to this. One thing that we are given from this equation is the slope of the line, the slope for two parallel lines are the same. So we know that the slope of the line is 4/3. We are also given another point on the line and we can plug this point in for y and x to find the y-intercept or b:
6 = (4/3)(-12) + b
6 = -16 + b
22 = b
Now that we know b, we have both the y-intercept and the slope so our equation would be:
y = (4/3)x + 22
