Answer: Y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve this problem is y - 12 = 8

In order to solve the equation you need to add 12 to each side -

Y = 20

You can then check your work - 12 less than 20 equals 8. This is correct, so you know that your answer is correct.

The ratio of girls to students at a middle school is 10 to 18. If there are 270 students at the school, how many are girls?

Stells [14]

A good way of doing this problem would be to use cross multiplication of ratios
<u /> $\frac{10 girls}{18 students} = \frac{X girls}{270 students}$

Then cross multiply

(10 girls)(270 students)=(X girls)(18 students)

2700=18x
150=x

X + 3y = -3 solve for Y (ex. y= 3 + 5x

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

y = -1/3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for y.

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x+3y+−x=−3+−x

3y=−x−3

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

y=-1/3x-1

$\frac{-1}{3} x-1$
