It's pretty simple! So it looks like you are learning proportions. You would cross multiply to achieve your answer.
First, let's do your first problem:
2 12
--- = ----
5 n
You would take 5 and multiply it by 12 and get 60! Then you would do the same with 2 times n, giving you 2n (because you do not know what n represents YET.)
Now you should have this:
60=2n OR 2n=60
We must isolate our variable, in order to do that, get rid of two! But how? You would do this by dividing 2n by 2. Yet in equations, when you do something to one side, you must do it to the other because they must be EQUAL! (hence the "equa-" in equation)
2n=60
--- ---
2 2 DIVIDE 2 into 60
----------
n= 30 Simplify!
Your final answer for the first question is n= 30!
Answer:
They are un-proportional.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios dont have the same relationship.
Answer:
(-3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the second equation, we can easily rearrange it to make x the subject.
x - 4y = 5
x = 4y + 5
Now lets put that into the second equation
2x - 2y = -2
2(4y + 5) - 2y = -2
6y + 10 = -2
6y = -12
y = -2
Now lets find x!
x = 4y + 5
x = 4(-2) + 5
x = -3
Now lets format the answer like the question says (ordered pair)
(-3, -2)
Recap: We used substitution and made an equation to work out one of the variables first, then found the second variable using the first.
