Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
2a - b : 2a + b = 1 : 2
2a - b = 1
- Elimination
2a + b = 2
-b - (b) = -1
-2b = -1
b = 0.5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2a + b = 2 Substitution
2a + 0.5 = 2
2a = 1.5
a = 0.75
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a:b
0.75 : 0.5
or
3/4 : 1/2
Hope this helps!!!
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of white balls = 24
Number of black balls = 16
Unknown:
The probability that white ball is drawn at random = ?
Solution:
The probability of an event is the likelihood of such an event to occur. That an event will occur has a probability of 1, it will not occur have a probability of zero.
In this problem, the total number of outcomes of drawing any ball has sample space of (24 + 16)outcomes = 40outcomes.
Probability of an event = 
Pr(white balls) =
= 
Answer:
Hi
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to subtract it because you add a negative and positive fraction together you can add a positive with a positive or vice versa but you can add n and p together so you have to subtract.

100-25=75
find 75% of the 85
percent means parts out of 100
75%=75/100=0.75
'of' means multiply
75% of 85 means
0.75 times 85=63.75
sale price is $63.75
A=12+2(p). 36=12+ 2p 24=2p there are 12 peaches
