Answer

given,

on first stop

number of car = 20  and number of trucks = 18

on second stop

number of car = 18  and number of trucks = 10

we need to calculate which rest stop has higher ratio of car to truck.

Rest Stop 1

ratio= r₁ =\dfrac{cars}{trucks}

           r₁ =\dfrac{20}{18}

           r₁ =\dfrac{10}{9}

Rest Stop 2

ratio= r₂ =\dfrac{cars}{trucks}

           r₂ =\dfrac{18}{10}

           r₂=\dfrac{9}{5}

hence, r₂ > r₁

rest stop 2 has more car to truck ratio than rest stop 1

The system of equations can be solved using linear combination to eliminate one of the variables. 2x − y = −4→10x − 5y = −20 3x
tester [92]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

13x = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equation is given:

2x-y = -4             ....[1]

3x+5y = 59         .....[2]

Multiply equation [1] by 5 to both sides we have;

10x-5y = -20              .....[3]

Using elimination method:

Add [2] and [3] equations to eliminate y and solve for x, we have;

13x = 39

Divide both sides by 13 we get;

x = 3

Substitute x in [1] we have;

2(3)-y = -4

6-y = -4

Subtract 6 from both sides we have;

-y = -10

Divide both sides by -1 we have;

y = 10

⇒Solution: (3, 10)

Therefore, an equation can replace 3x+5y = 59 in the original system and still produce the same solution is,

13x = 39

There are 18 female students and 16 male students in a class. Which of the following expresses the ratio of female students to m
fiasKO [112]

Hey!

-------------------------------------------------

Solution:

The ratio is FEMALES to MALES.

So its 18/16, 18:16, or 18 to 16.

~Now we need to simplify.

18:16 → 18/2:16/2 → 9:8

*Note* When you have a ratio you need to know which comes first. If you put males to females that incorrect. It has to be correct according to the question.

-------------------------------------------------

Answer:

\large\boxed{B)~9~to~8}
