1/3 of 12,000 ballots were thrown out.
1/3 * 12,000 = 12,000/3 = 4,000
4,000 ballots were thrown out.
12,000 - 4,000 = 8,000
There were 8,000 ballots left.
1/4 of 8,000 ballots are for candidate A.
1/4 * 8,000 = 8,000/4 = 2,000
Candidate A received 2,000 votes.
8,000 - 2,000 = 6,000
Candidate B received 6,000 votes.

Step-by-step explanation:
25 percent of 280 is 70 so it is 350
Answer:
y is equal to -1
x is equal to 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing you would do is multiply the bottom equation by a negative 3. You will get - 6x - 9y = -15. Keep the top equation the same. Both of the 6x's cancel. You then get -11y = 11 so y is equal to negative 1.
Since you have Y, you can now plug that in to any equation to find the value of x. -6x - 2(-1) = 26. You're left with 4. Plug both of the values into each equation to double check.
