The answer to this is Y = 1
Multiply 2x-2y=10 by 2,
4x-4y=20,
given:4x-5y=17
y=3
pluck it in
2x-6=10
move the 6 to the right
2x=16
divide
x=8
y=3
Let the number = x
It would be: 9x + 6 = 456
9x = 456 - 6
9x = 450
x = 450 / 9
x = 50
In short, Your Answer would be 50
Hope this helps!
<u>Answer:</u>
333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.
<u>Solution:</u>
We have been given that two-thirds of all voters in Ward 5 plan on choosing Spike Jones for commissioner.
There are 500 voters in Ward 5.
