6x - y = 78... u know that x equals 5y so where ever u see a x.. substitute it with 5y...
SO FOR EXAMPLE:
-6(5y) - y = 78..... u get -30y - y = 78....
Finally -30y - y = -31y.....
And now ur left with -31y=78....
Today find y... divide them both by -31.... and when u get that answer substitute it to wherever u see x

Write out the following proportions in words. a. 7 :28 = 2 : 8 b. 3⁄1 = 18⁄6 c. 9 : 72 = 2 : 16 d. 81⁄9 = 45⁄5
Lerok [7]
1) Proportion a.

7 : 28 = 2 : 8

That means that the ratio 7 / 28 is equal to the ratio 2 : 8. 

You can verify the equality by simplifying to the simplest form:

     7 : 28 = 1 / 4 simplest form
     2 : 8 = 1 / 4 simplest form, then the proportion is right.

In words that is 7 is to 28 as 1 is to 4 ← answer


2) Proportion b.<span>. 3⁄1 = 18⁄6
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>In words: 3 is to q as 18 is to 6 ← answer
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>You can verify the proportion by simplifiying the second fraction:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>     18 / 6 = [18 / 6] / [ 6 / 6] = 3 / 1
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>3) Proportion c. 9 : 72 = 2 : 16
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>In words: 9 is to 72 as 2 is to 16 ← answer
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Proove the proportion:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>     9 / 72 = 1 / 8
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>     2 / 16 = 1 / 8
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>4) Proportion d. 81⁄9 = 45⁄5</span>

In words: 81 is to 9 as 45 is to 5 ← answer


Proove it: 
      81 / 9 = 9
      45 / 9 = 9

base=8x+4 x=-4/8 x=-1/2
height=3x-4 x=4/3

A=b×h÷2
A=(-1/2×4/3)÷2
A=(-4/6)÷2
A=(-4/6)÷2/1 to divide by fractions flip the second and multiply
A=-4/6×1/2
A=-4/12
