Answer:

28 short race volunteers

76 long race volunteers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Short races = a

Long races = b

LAST YEAR:

7a + 8b = 804 - - - - (1)

THIS YEAR:

11a + 5b = 688 - - - (2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 8

35a + 40b = 4020

88a + 40b = 5504

Subtract

-53a = - 1484

a = 1484 / 53

a = 28

Put a = 28 in equation (1)

7(28) + 8b = 804

196 + 8b = 804

8b = 804 - 196

8b = 608

b = 76

28 short race volunteers

76 long race volunteers

Y + 4/9 = 2/3 Solve the equation..
emmainna [20.7K]
Y + 4/9 = 2/3

Let's convert 2/3 into 6/9 so it will be easier to subtract.

Y + 4/9 = 6/9
Subtract 4/9 on both sides.

Y = 2/9 Hope this helps!
