Answer: The question is incomplete
Step-by-step explanation: The answer to this question cannot be determined correctly since an important detail is missing.
However, let me explain how you would normally go about it by using an example of mine. If for example the ratio of yes votes to no votes was 8 to 5, and the question requires you to calculate how many yes votes were there as indicated in your question, then the first step would be to find the total number of both sides of the ratio. That is add 8 to 5 which gives you 13. This means if there was a total of 13 votes cast, every yes vote stands for 8 out of 13 votes and every no vote stands for 5 out of 13 votes.
To express it mathematically, every yes vote would be 8/13 of the total (12779) and every no vote would be 5/13 of the total (12779).
Therefore to determine how many yes votes there was, is calculated as follows;
Let yes votes be y and no votes be x'
y = (8/13) * 12779
y = 102232/13
y = 7864
<em>Based on my example that the ratio of yes votes to no votes is 8 to 5, </em>
Then the number of yes votes was 7,864.
Answer
so there are 7 singing acts and 5 comedy acts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= number of singing acts.
Let y= number of comedy acts.
We will take x+y=12 as our first equation, as there are 12 shows in total. We will take 5x+3y=50 as our second equation as there are 50 total minutes, and singing acts are 5 mins and comedy acts are 3 mins.
We solve x+y=12
Y=-x+12
We know y=-x+12, so we will substitute that for the y in the second equation.
1. Substitute 5x+3(-x+12)=50
2. Distribute 5x-3x+36=50
3. Solve 2x+36=50
2x=14
X=7
Now that we have found x, we will find y by substitute the x in 5x+3y=50 with the value, 7, that we found for x.
5(7)+3y=50
35+3y=50
3y=15
Y=5
Answer:
6 units above the x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
The pair (9,6) are a set of coordinates that indicate how far away from the origin (0,0) the point is.
The coordinates are written (x,y) where 'x' is how far to the left or right of the y-axis (vertical) the point is. The 'y' is how far above or below the x-axis (horizontal) the point is.
So in this case, the set of (9,6) means that the point is located at 9 units to the right of the origin and the y-axis and 6 units above the x-axis
