What needs to be done first is to add up females and males that have passed.
42 + 14 = 56
so out of 56 students who passed 42 females passed 42/56 = 3/4 = 0.75
out of 56 students who passed, 14 males passed which turns into 14/56 = 1/4 = 0.25
check work; 0.75 + 0.25 = 1.00
NOW WE ARE DOING FAILS.
15 + 5 = 20
so out of 20 students who failed, 15 females failed so it turns into 15/20 = 3/4 = 0.75
out of 20 students who failed, 5 males failed. 5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25
check work; 0.75 + 0.25 = 1.00
i hope this helped! :)
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
rise over run = y/x
3/1.5= 2
Answer:
That's the right answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+3=3x
Subtract 2x from both sides
3=x or x=3
The answer is actually choice A
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6
Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away
The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6
To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3
We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'
Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'
3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1
So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)
--------------------------------------
To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations
Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out
Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well
So this confirms that the final answer is choice A
