3/4 = x / 340....3 to 4 students = x to 340 students
cross multiply
(4)(x) = (3)(340)
4x = 1020
x = 1020/4
x = 255 <==
or this way.....
3 out of 4 students.....3/4 = 75%
so 75% of 340 = 0.75(340) = 255 <=
Answer:
y is equal to -1
x is equal to 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing you would do is multiply the bottom equation by a negative 3. You will get - 6x - 9y = -15. Keep the top equation the same. Both of the 6x's cancel. You then get -11y = 11 so y is equal to negative 1.
Since you have Y, you can now plug that in to any equation to find the value of x. -6x - 2(-1) = 26. You're left with 4. Plug both of the values into each equation to double check.
Is that a ratio? then i’ll answer it
