All you are basically doing is making ratios.
Basketball to football would be 5 to 11 or 5:11 or 5/11.
What you do is in the order you said it (basketball to football) you find that info and make it a ratio. A ratio must be simplified and can be written 3 ways, as shown above.
Hockey to lacrosse would be 6 to 10 and simplified would be 3 to 5.
Try doing 3 and 4 and 5 on your own to help you understand it more:) if you have any questions tell me.
Answer:
are a, b, and c the options or are they different questions?
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The next step to solve the system, would be to divide the second row by 3 and we would be left with: 3 * R2
[1 -5 3 0 -2
0 1 -7/3 0 4/3
0 0 1 2 -2]
Then what we will do is multiply row 3 by 7/3 and then subtract it from row 2, that is, R2 - 7/3 * R3, and it would look like this:
[1 -5 3 0 -2
0 1 0 14/3 -10/3
0 0 1 2 -2]
And these would be the next two steps in the process of solving the system.
