Answer:
500
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: P = 150 - T where P is passenger cars and T is trucks
10P = 7T ⇔ P = 
Plug in equation 2 into equation 1:
= 150 - T
Solving for T, we get 500
Answer:
<em>There are 12 boys and 18 girls</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations</u>
There are 30 students in a class. Let's call:
x = number of boys
Since the sum of boys and girls is 30:
30 - x = number of girls
The ratio of boys to girls is 2:3, thus:

Crossing denominators:
3x = 2(30 - x)
Operating the parentheses:
3x = 60 - 2x
Adding 2x:
5x = 60
Dividing by 5:
x = 60/5 = 12
x = 12
There are 12 boys and 30-12=18 girls
Answer:
5208
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = 3/4x - 5/2....subtract 3/4x from both sides
-3/4x + y = -5/2 ....multiply everything by common denominator of 4
-3x + 4y = -10
Answer: 54
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
The first ratio is 1:6. The jump from 1 to 6 has us multiplying the 1 by 6 to get 6.
1*6 = 6
So we follow the same rule of "multiply by 6" to go from 9 to 54 (9*6 = 54)
Or you can use a proportion to get
1/6 = 9/x
1*x = 6*9 ... cross multiply
x = 54
and we get the same answer
