Hope this helps!
Remark
The way you have to set this up is to take the new number for the males and put it over the total for the males and females. The new number for the males / total = 3/5.
Step One
Find the total number of females
100 + 160 = 260 when 100 females have been added to the study.
Step Two
Find the number of males
The total number of males = 240 + x where x is the number of males to be added.
Step Three
Find the total for both
260 + 240 + x = Total
500 + x = Total.
Step Four
Find the ratio of males to total
(240 + x) / (500 + x) = 3/5
Step Five
Cross multiply and solve
(240 + x)*5 = (500+x)*3
1200 + 5x = 1500 + 3x Subtract 1200 from both sides.
5x = 1500 - 1200 + 3x
5x = 300 + 3x Subtract 3x from both sides.
5x - 3x = 300
2x = 300 Divide by 2
x = 300 / 2
x = 150
Check
(240 + 150 ) / (500 + 150) = ? 3/5
390 / 650 = ? 3/5
39/65 = ? 3/5 Divide the top and bottom on the left by 13
3/5 = 3/5 and it checks.

Answer:
y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector divides the sides of the triangle proportionally. This tells us ...
y/6 = 8/4
y = 6(2) . . . . . multiply by 6
y = 12
For matrix subtraction, you subtract the corresponding cell of the second matrix from the first. So, looking at the first spot, you have 4 (from the first matrix) - 4 (from the second matrix) = 0 (the first number in the output matrix). Continuing that for the next spot, -4 - -3 = -4 + 3 = -1. Finally, -2 - 5 = -7. This means your answer is [0 -1 -7].
The way you round is if it is below 5 you round down and if it is above 5 you round up so in the case of 750 it would go to 800 where if it was 749 it would go to 700
