B: From the origin, move 2 units back, 6 units left, and 7 units up.
Since .25*10 is 2.50 and .10*15 is 1.50 it equals $4. So the ratio is 10:15 which turns to 2:3 ratio simplified.
If each of them got 1/3 of the deck then they would each get 7 cards
Hi Cherise1cherhop lets break this equation down with these steps:
1) add the whole numbers first
2) find the LCD of the fractions and that would be 42 since 42 can go into both denominators through multiplication
3) make the denominators (bottom numbers) the same as the LCD (42)
4) simplify it, now the denominators are equal
5) join the denominators together
6) simplify it (3 + 65/42)
7) convert 65/42 to mixed fraction
8) now that we made it a mixed fraction, simplify it
Answer: 4 23/42
Multiply the first equation by 4 (so that both equations will have 8x terms) and then subtract:
8x-20y = -24
8x +3y = 68
------------
0 -23y = -92
Now divide both sides by -23:
y = 4
Find x by plugging y=4 into either equation:
8x +3(4) = 68
8x = 68 - 12
8x = 56
x = 7
So the answer is ordered pair is (7,4)
