Answer:
y = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
4(9) = 4 x 9 = 36
You can solve this with next proportion =>
3 : 5 = 4 : x => 3x= 5*4 => 3x = 20 => x=20/3 = 6 (2/3)
The correct answer is x= 6 (2/3)
Good luck!!!
Answer:
balloons= 9
candles= 8
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of balloons be x
and candles be y
So
15x+8y=192----------1
x+y=17--------------2
from 2, x= 17-y
put x= 17-y in 1
15( 17-y)+8y=192
255-15y+8y=192
solve for y
-7y=192-255
-7y=-63
x=63/7
x=9
put x= 9 in 1
9+y=17
y= 17-9
y=8.
