Answer:

x/y = 3/5

=> x = (3/5)y (1)

(x + 8)/(y + 8) = 2/3

=> 3*(x + 8) = 2*(y + 8)

=> 3x + 24 = 2y + 16

=> 3x - 2y = -8 (2)

From (1) and (2), we have:

=> 3*(3/5)y - 2y = -8

=> (-1/5)y = -8

=> y = 40

=> x = (3/5)*y = (3/5)*40 = 24

=> Solution: x = 24, y = 40

Hope this helps!

A diver descends 130 feet below the surface over 35 minutes. what was his average rate of descent

attashe74 [19]

I believe you would do the feet ,130, divided by the minutes ,35, to get how many feet per minute. It would get you a never ending decimal of 3.714285. So every minute he would drop about 4 feet. You will have to put it how it says to for what your answering is. If it says round to the whole number then he would drop 4 feet, but I hope this helps you in any way :)
