1) Write out what you know
Blue: 5/8
Green: 5/9 (of 3/8 because it is the remaining parts) so 5/24
Red: 1 - (5/8 + 5/24) = 1/6
2) Find the total amount of people
You know that 1/6 of the population is 48, so the total population is 288 (48×6)
3) Multiply the total population by the fractions to get the number of votes
Blue: 288 × 5/8 = 180 votes
Green: 288 × 5/24 = 60 votes

Check: 180 + 60 + 48 = 288 votes

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THE 5/24's PLEASE???

How do you solve 2(x+7)+x=20
alexira [117]
2(x+7) + x=20
(2)(x) + (2)(7) + x=20  Distribute 
2x+14 + x =20
(2x+x) + (14) =20  Combine Like Terms 
3x+14=20 
    - 14  -14             Subtract 14 from both sides 
3x = 6 
3x/3 6/3                  Divide Both Sides by 3 
 
x = 2

Ostrovityanka [42]
Y= 3/4x - 2   (-2,10)= (x1,y1)
The slope is -4/3 of the perpendicular line:
Then:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-10=(-4/3)(x+2)
y=-(4/3)x -8/3 +10
y= -(4/3)x +22/3 (That's the answer)
