For the 1st one we need to solve x. x-y=2 step1: x-y+y=2+y answer: x=y+2
Answer: The area of Rhode Island is about 1,212 square miles
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4 : 8 = x : 6, expressing in ratio form, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
8x = 24 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 3
Thus 4 : 8 = 3 : 6
Rx - sx + y = b
WHEN SOLVING FOR X :
rx - sx + y = b
We must get x onto it's own side, so subtract y from both side.s
rx - sx = b - y
Then, factor out x.
x(r - s) = b - y
Then, divide both sides by (r - s).
x(r - s) ÷ (r - s) = b - y ÷ (r - s)
Simplify.
x = b - y / r - s →

WHEN SOLVING FOR Y :
rx - sx + y = b
We need to isolate y, so get rid of everything BUT y on the left side.
Subtract rx from both sides.
-sx + y = b - rx
Then, add sx to both sides.
y = b - rx + sx
