The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39      ⇒x=39/2=19.5

  x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
   2y=9    ⇒y=9/2=4.5

The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5

To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15

Please help me with 9 I really need it
MissTica

Answer:

605 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of boys to girls is 5:7

and there are 847 girls

we can plug this value into the ratio by doing something like:

5:7

= 5/7

= x/847

Because the ratio has to be the same, we can substitute x for the number of boys and solve by the cross method or whatever you guys call it.

5            x

---   x    ------

7          847

The x in the middle is just to show the direction you are multiplying.

the 5 is multiplied by the 847 and the 7 is multiplied by x.

847 * 5 = 4,235

4,235  divided by 7 is 605

605 is your answer.

The cross method can be used in most situations.

* is used to represent multiplication btw

Araceli made 9 identical bags using 4 yards of fabric. How much fabric did Araceli use for each bag?
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Araceli would have used 2.25 (or 2 1/4) yards of fabric for each bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have the 9 bags you are making and they all must be the same because they are identical, so you divide the nine bags by the four yards and I got an answer of 2.25 yards per bag. The answer can also be 2 1/4 as well.
